David Pearce is a British philosopher who promotes the abolition of suffering in all sentient life.

Pearce's views are most prominently presented in The Hedonistic Imperative, a manifesto in which he outlines how technologies such as genetic engineering, nanotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and neurosurgery could potentially eliminate all forms of unpleasant experience.

Pearce was co-founder (with Nick Bostrom) of the World Transhumanist Association as well as co-founder (with Pablo Stafforini & Sean Henderson ) and honorary president of the Abolitionist society. He is currently the director of BLTC Research .
