Greg Burch GBurch1@aol.com proposed some questions for a FAQ
>1. Isn't transhumanism tampering with nature?
Yes.
>2. Won't transhuman technologies make us inhuman?
Possibly inhuman certainly unhuman.
>3. Isn't death part of the natural order of things?
Yes and nature sucks.
>4. Won't extended lifespans cause overpopulation problems?
Probably not.
>5. Will only the rich and powerful have access to augmentation?
Nobody knows.
I think these answers are honest and I'm comfortable with them but except for
#4 I see no way to make them palatable to Mr. Joe Sixpack, I wish I did.
