Serious question. What is Sup Forums view on transhumanism and human enhancement through genetic engineering? We are on the brink of some serious breakthroughs, you know. We could make everybody perfect, strong, healthy, beautiful, venerable, able to withstand the dangers of space travel and colonization of alien worlds!

can I be a cute anime girl?

This 2bh >///

if it falls into (((their))) hands it will be used for the elite to live hedonistically and farm the mullato masses for wealth

national socialism must prevail before these advances can be used appropriately

i second this

Sweden asking the most important question desu

80% of this board wants to be a qt anime girl.

We don't want to use genetic engineering to create abominations.

I rather thought about using transhumanist technology and philosophy to finally create the Ubermensch.

An anime girl desu

...

>implying

>implying you wouldn't jump at the chance

>tfw you will never bang nonon

could you imagine waltzing around in your goku uniform

>merging mankind with its own imperfect creation
Everyone who takes part in genetically engineering themselves through technology will be an abomination. If you think this type of thing won't be abused by the elite to manipulate and further control society you're mad.

Still doesn't solve the energy hyper-crisis

I'm for it,I want the world to be like Deus Ex.

>Nonon
good taste anaon

We should exterminate the elite by then and regulate the whole process of enhancement of the white race.

We must preserve Nonon's image and personality for future generations to admire and look up to.

This.

Transhumans will be subhuman freaks.

I'd give into machines
First I want a super eye
Then just hook me up to the matrix,I shall achieve immortality...... Hopefully

Who the fuck are "we" you fucking faggot?
You ain't gonna make shit, I can tell you that much.

>80% of this board wants to be a qt anime girl.
The other 20% wants to fuck qt anime girls.

Not going to happen. Even if we destroy them someone else will take their place at the top, that's just the way things are. There are plenty of corrupt people who would do anything to reach the top and are already in prime positions to take the place of the current ruling class of they were to be annihilated somehow.

Anecdotal, I know, but I've never met a transhumanist that didn't hate themselves because of physical appearance

Yuri is pure, yuri is cute and yuri is the only way forward we have as a species. The rest of those nerds can still to their dakis.

Shut up Ahmed, don't you have some german women to assrape?

b-b-b-but I don't wanna be a member of a harem!

Forgot pic

>i'll be able to genetically engineer myself a papika sex slave

The future is bright.

You dirty rotten motherfuckers are really dumb.

At best it will lead to a bunch of freaks running around that are in no way improvements, at worst, we get some sort of B-movie apocalypse.

And, being perfectly serious, do you really want to give otherkin a way to realize their fantasies even on a small scale?

Eliminate diseases, make people capable of adapting to hostile environments, find a way to give better cosmetic surgery for old people, heck, I'm fine with better surgery for trannies. But end it there.

>Transhumanism
Correct me if Im wrong but Transhumanism is the fanciful hope that body parts are replaced and existing bodies "enhanced", that is at least my understanding of their selling point.

But the question is where do you draw the line? The logical conclusion of transhumanism, is the AI and the machine would replace everything of the Human. The Collective AI would eventually consider the human conscience a nuisance to be consigned as redundant data and ultimately eliminated altogether as an inefficiency.

Do we truly want to be the first species in the Universe to engineer the existence of our own replacements?

Secondly who is to say the human body isn't one of the most efficient bodies that naturally exist? We dont run or swim or survive as well as other animals but we have conquered the entire planet and subsumed every other species under our food chain. What makes you think an "enhanced" piece of machinery attached to our bodies is an improvement?

Sure it is inevitable that we will develop systems that will enhance our bodies but at this point in time, these "enhancements" are high maintenance and cost a lot to replace. One example is the artificial heart. It requires constant replacement every three or four years, could be hacked to cause a heart attack and so specialised only a handful of specialists could perform the surgery with limited product replacements.

This I suspect is an indicator of just how sloppy such bodily "enhancements" will be regulated and it's something Transhumanists have yet to address.

>complaining about cute anime girls on a fucking anime imageboard

Do you know where you are?

Exactly.

Unfortunately you are wrong, I was talking about purely biological enhancement, not mechanical/cybernetic one. Genetic engineering is the way to go, it's both safe and pure.

You can draw the line wherever you want. If human augmentation began to trend and began to approach the availability of smartphones, it would still be your choice to not augment and simply be a normal human.

And if by some bizarre twist of fate the uman body turns out to be perfect (protip: there are hundreds of ways we already know it isn't) then there's nothing to fear because that simply means it's impossible to augment human capability and we're stuck with our frailties.

100% this

>pure biological enhancement
Alot more research than what has been going on at the moment. Right now this research is driven for commercial purposes which is often short sighted and the full repercussions are not fully understood until too late.

They used to say breast enhancements were simply harmless pieces of plastic being inserted into you to enhance your appearance. Turns out the fuckers exploded in high pressure and could be fatal in specific instances.

But I guess that's the path of progress we're increasingly taking so it'll just have to be a wait and see.

>genetic engineering is safe and pure
The only reason Im neutral about it is because we've been genetic engineering for millenia. Just not at the rate the medical profession is saying we can today. Given how unreliable studies are these days paid for by (((interest groups))).

We are preparing for the AI Antichrist

>We could make everybody perfect, strong, healthy, beautiful, venerable

Pretty much everybody was like this before the civilizations.

Praise the machine, baby!

Enhanced vision you don't say?

ocumetics.com/info.update.html

Employing state-of-the art materials and production techniques, OcumeticsTM Technology Corporation is in the process of developing a highly advanced intraocular lens, one that is capable of restoring clear vision at all distances, without glasses or contact lenses, and without the visual quality problems that have plagued current accommodative and multifocal intraocular lens designs.

This is one of the few things that have keep my going
God bless science, and you for useful link
