Some Transhuman philosophical challenges:
1) Who am I? (the defining of the self)
2) How do I determine if another entity in my environment has a self?
3) How do I interact with others with a self who are in the same environment?
Obviously, working toward the first definition wouldn't be ethically difficult
if it weren't for the fact that there seems to be other beings with a sense of
self in my environment, and this leads to the question, "If I have the right
to control myself and my environment, don't they? But if they are in my
environment, then they are a part of my environment, so don't I need to
control them? And if they are in my environment, aren't I in their
environment, and thus something they need to control? Maybe if I left out
that part about my environment and focused on myself....but wait, I am rather
strongly embedded in my environment, in fact on some levels it is difficult to
discern where I stop and the environment starts, and it is awefully hard
to
totally control my life without at least some control of my environment....uh
oh.
