Just because, as the old New York City cum Eastern European Jewish joke argues on behalf of the neurosis of a relative who thinks he is a chicken: “we need the eggs.”
We need, we want what transhumanism promises, and surely it will soon come to pass and inasmuch as we are persuaded that the only thing that holds science back from this windfall of technological add-ons and upgrades is some ethical aversion to, say, stem cell research, we argue for the “value” of transhumanism, just to quell such objections.
Exactly and never to be given up. Transhumanism is merely to take the human race to the next stage of our evolution. It looks like we evolved faster than any other species on earth. It also looks like we have accelerated the process of evolution in this particular species as well. So, what we are doing now is trying to accelerate our evolution; thats all what it means to be a transhuman. We want to reach maximum years of living with minimum risks and objections. If transhumanism is a promising way and it really is, then let's go for it.
ReplyDeleteIt is not all objections for transhumanism, there are supports all over, like here: http://www.awaitedelement.com/2015/03/new-world-order-transhumanism.html
