Transhumanism is a monstrous mockery of humanism and what it is to be a human being. It is a trend toward the dark side of the force of good and evil. D.N.A. computing using single strands of D.N.A. and fragments of structure for meaning in logic gates of three kinds is already investigated in scientific laboratories. The human genome has evolved integrated into deep forces in nature. Alteration of individual human D.N.A. through xeno-transplantation, new forms of harvesting and morally cannibalizing embryos for the purpose of sustaining existing humans in a process of organ vampirism and embryonic mass murder, genetic designer engineering and sundry other methods of changing the way human beings exist individually will further erode the natural functions and systems integrity of the human genome battered presently by a variety of powerful natural physiological altering manufactured agents. Transhumanism as a way to seek to extend human life will simply transmogrify human life into something else possibly worse than death.
Death, the philosopher John Paul Sartre wrote, is the complete triumph of the other. Many human beings fear death and especially within an atheist and unphilosophical paradigm of personal epistemology believe that death is the end of everything. Christians of course have a different opinion, and the ancient Greek philosophers and especially the neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus of the third century understood that life is simply one place that one can be, and that this Universe and life is part of something larger, and better. To attempt to stay here in this universe forever is like attempting to stay in a dream forever, in a dream no longer sustained by a dreamer if separated from God. The reality of existing in a Universe of broken forms would be very, very cold and actually a hell.
Human experience of life and of the Universe seems as it is because human beings are temporal beings with intelligence or self-awareness and awareness of otherness. If a human being lived as long as a neutron star in a low metabolic state consciousness might be of an equivalently slow paradigm with a thought every several billion years some have speculated. Human beings experience this universe as they do because they are a part of it even consuming it as an energy source. The entire human race has co-evolved in a complimentary way through sexual reproduction and in a specific universal physical criterion...to change and disintegrate the nature of things is very, very wrong. While it is a good idea to improve human health the limits of the Universe are real too, to outgrow the Universe will leave no place to go...humanity must be willing to accept the destiny that God has given them as emanations from the One and reconcile themselves unto The One through Jesus Christ.
Athletes with extra arms will get legs upsmanship too in scaling meandering yet meaningful coefficients of social adversity. Genetic engineers will cut and splice out intellectual resistance to transhumanism as the invasion of the body snatchers becomes the supplemental federal bill and steering committee on reduction of national resistance to transhumanism and its deleterious effect upon management of reliance on Muslim fossil fuels, the Bushes and the Clintons.
There isn't a limit to the potential alteration of the human form with modern scientific knowledge evolving as it is, yet isn't it unwise to transform humanity into whatever it can think of in a sort of self-mutilation of humanity and the human genome? People could have extra brains, extra hardware, extra appendages, extra organs-more of anything imaginable really, and nothing would remain of any natural human being or human race that are children of the Universe grown in natural harmony within it. Its rather an all or nothing thing, and something of a philosophical question...should humanity be golden children of the sands of temporality on the beaches of a billion worlds with God as their redeemer or collective giant intelligent fungii never dying and experiencing all intelligent data vicariously with reanimationed sense movies of prior experience substituting for the meaningfulness of anything real. Evidentally to become cells in the long-lived planetary fungus with smarts is a goal for some people of the world today.
Transhumanism brings to the table people using launching platforms for the advantage of death evasion techniques potentially merging into artificial plant forms on the planet Xena. The rage for transhumanism preceded the demotion of Pluto from full planet status and will continue as the human de-engineering of the perfectly evolved human form proceeds to maladapt humanity into its own fragmented image of less than wholeness. The mystical defragmenter of the human genome will not suddenly appear to clear up more space and execute run commands for efficiency when the transhuman monster alterity has set in to devour entirely the genome for-itself and pull the remainder with it into some cosmic sinkhole without change percolating turgidly as an emission from the dregs of time.
Transhumanism instead of wisdom will not bring humanity to full knowledge of The One through Jesus Christ's remedial sacrifice. Instead the broken forms of humanity will become more fragmented and lost in the farthest reaches of doom without the light of God. Whoa!
