Transhuamnism gets a thrashing in
http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-smith092002.asp
Excerpt: "Welcome to the surreal world of "transhumanism," a nascent and
explicitly eugenic philosophy that advocates taking control of human
evolution through gene modification. Transhumanism may seem like something
posted on the web by a guy who wears a crystal pyramid on his head to keep
the CIA from intercepting his thoughts. To the contrary. Transhumanists
come from the highest levels of academe."
Opinion: "So what to do pending a breaking of the cloning impasse? Allow
me to suggest a new tack that should not generate major opposition except
from ideologues with a 'science uber alles' mentality: I propose that the
United States outlaw the genetic manipulation of human embryos with
non-human DNA."
