"To the real enthusiasts - they call themselves transhumanists - humanity is on the point of being liberated from its biology. In their advocacy of our “technological rights”, they believe that human beings are on the brink of a huge leap in development, leaving behind the sick, quarrelsome, weak, fallible creatures we have been up to now. We will be, as their slogan goes, “better than well”."

It's sounds so Sci-Fi. How chilling.

And of course, we will need the elite super-humans to decide what's best for the rest of us peons. I shudder to think of that kind of power in the hands of immoral, corruptible humans. I read an interesting book some time ago called The Great Reckoning (I believe was the title) that addresses this kind of issue. Rather frightening, what this guy saw coming.
