Transhumanism -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumani鈥?/a> (in case people are unfamiliar)
From a religious/spiritual perspective what do you think the consequences of 'playing God' would be?
Do you think any transhumanist practices will succeed? will benefit man kind? will greatly enhance our lifespans?
What do you think the consequences would be if this technology fell in the wrong hands?
Do you think transhumanist programs, eugenics, cloning etc. pose a threat to:
1) Humanity/Human nature
2) The value of 'real' human life
3) Global stability
4) Resource scarcity
5) Scientific mishaps (example: Frankenstein like creatures?)
Overall, what are your thoughts on this? There doesn't seem to be any other questions on transhumanism in Yahoo answers so I'm hoping to get as many responses as possible.
What is your opinion on transhumanism? How will these efforts change the world?
One of the most astounding pictures I have ever seen. The challange that I see is that somebody is deciding what is 'deficit' and what is 'enhancement'. In a perfect world that would be clear.... in the world we live in however...

Without altering mankind's aggressive behaviiors anything transhumanist do will be %26quot;futile.%26quot; Any mutation of this species to a supposedly BETTER one is a waste of time SIMPLY because no one can alter our environment and everything it affects in the human condition........
Transhumanism is acceptable by almost all religions in the world provided that it is for saving life and the intention is good. There is no such thing as playing God. Our ability to create things are from God. It is Him who teach us everything we know.
I do believe transhumanist will succeed over times and it will benefit all of us. If such technologies being used for good deed, it will be good for all human kind. If it fall into the wrong hand then it will be disaster. We cannot blame the technology, it is us should be blame for the wrong doing.
I really think the new method will benefit all of us in the future. It will enhance and prolong our lifespans at the same time overcome some problems which is impossible before.
