We discussed the page in Aleph a few weeks back, and our general view
was that while the page was bad and incorrect, it touched on many
issues that we transhumanists easily get misunderstood on (are we
creating a master race?), or things that are not obvious to most
people (why is life extension likely to become relatively cheap?). So
the issues brought up should be carefully refuted. I have for a long
time been thinking of setting up a web page with links to anti-TH
texts together with refutations and explanations. Perhaps we should
even write a "Frequent Misunderstandings" text like an FAQ.
