It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time, but Now I Don’t Know
I recently watched a two-hour special called: “The Real Superhumans and the Quest for the Future Fantastic“.
From the site:
‘No species has had the ability to direct its own evolutionary course – until now. Have we reached the point where new technologies have put the genetic engineering process into our own hands? The real-life superheroes in this special are harbingers of the type of advanced humans we could become in the not-so-distant future – by examining the unique gifts they possess today, what can we learn about what humanity will be like tomorrow? “The Real Superhumans and the Quest for the Future Fantastic” is about true superheroes, genetic engineering and the future of human evolution. See how the rules of evolution are on the brink of fundamental change, how it will happen, and – ultimately – how it provokes the question of what it means to be human.’
