"The problem with repugnance and fear-and-trembling ethics is, they are good starting points but bad ending points. If intuition is the last word, then African-Americans are at the back of the bus, women and people who have no property aren't voting and we still have slaves."
Art Caplan, head of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania

WJS contra H+ & Citizen Cyborg on KSSZ



Wesley J. Smith

Wesley J. Smith


Posted: Dec 12, 2006


Bioconservative activist Wesley J. Smith writes: ”Transhumanism on the Air - I was interviewed for an hour by Derek Gilbert yesterday on KSSZ about transhumanism, post humanity, and genetic enhancement of our progeny. We discuss human exceptionalism. I quote James Hughes‘ assertion from Citizen Cyborg that creating an ape/human hybrid would prove that human exceptionalism is bunk, or as he puts it, would disprove “human racism.” We also discuss transhumanism as a “new eugenics” and get into the history of the old eugenics.”
