Jamiro2002, I am disgusted by and personally offended by your allegations.

against children therefore potentially disrupts evolution in a way that
should no longer happen based on traits developed in humans. It is one thing
for a lion to eat the pups of a rivalling male - but the fact of humans
having transcended this need is part and parcel of their very humanity.

true of Max More (incidentally a friend of Henson?) as well. For obvious
reasons as outlined above, I do not consider this to be their private
business. But I have so far failed to see reactions or statements from any
extropians on this subject, which I consider a moral omission.

The future can not be approached without dealing with present issues that
might bar the road to it.
