Transhumanism
There are some core ethical concerns and answers behind transhumanist philosophy, but at the core of it is the notion of human control of human evolution. Much of what could go wrong should transhumanist goals succeed has to be addressed in cultural reform. So it isn’t just about controlling human biological evolution, but changing the conditions that would affect everyone’s quality of life. Transhumanism goes further in its human evolution model. Evolution of consciousness, augmentation of human intelligence and awareness, which could lead to even more clear and accurate empathy.
What this all might lead to is not the evolution of a cookie cutter humanity, but to multiple different “species” of humanity coexisting on our planet.
“We find that the tree of life is no longer a tree but a bridge whose final destination is yet to be dreamt in the minds of the builders.” Victor Cervantes
