We discussed the page in Aleph a few weeks back, and our general view was that while the page was bad and incorrect, it touched on many issues that we transhumanists easily get misunderstood on (are we creating a master race?), or things that are not obvious to most people (why is life extension likely to become relatively cheap?). So the issues brought up should be carefully refuted. I have for a long time been thinking of setting up a web page with links to anti-TH texts together with refutations and explanations. Perhaps we should even write a "Frequent Misunderstandings" text like an FAQ.
