Always funny to see what outsiders (in this case a bunch of students from the University of Texas at Austin) think of transhumanism... Perhaps the Textropians should kick their ass ;-) http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~ifrj383/index.htm

Quote:

"Our culture must not allow the evolution of humans into a new species by transhumanistic activists seeking the improvement of the human condition. If we do, the human condition will only suffer. The Socioeconomic Impact of transhumanism will be substancial. The high cost of the technologies allow only a privaleged few to take advantage of it, which will create a social divide between an elite and an underprivaleged class and do dangerous damage to human solidarity".

Etc.
