We all want the best. The problem with being able to achieve the best is less than becomes unacceptable.
Related to the concept of transhumanism “the best” will be driven by the military first and the fashion industry medicine by profit a tight race for second. Possibly an interplay between both or all three.
Its not long ago we experienced the drive of governments wanting an improved breed stock. It hasn’t ended obviously.
Do we have laws around this new option. Do we have the required intellect to know where to start with legislation to protect our species. This is a species issue.
This technology is new to us now, it won’t be for long. Like all technologies we develop it will grow, possibly improve. “improve” depends on your definition of course.
Let this tech free fall into the market without moral and ethical guide posts and it will lead to class and economic stratification. The associated costs of further stratification will pancake our societies. I wonder what economic class will bare the cost of this, actually I don’t. None of this new it exists today it existed yesterday and has existed since who knows when, biggest monkey gets the girl?
Its unstoppable so lets pay attention this time maybe we can get it right. Please refer to post ‘its never been closer” this could be a component of Utopia if handled correctly.
