For my buddy, Stan Herman, who has been playing around with some thoughts about the "Posthuman" world, here is another link to Francis Fukuyama.

'Our Posthuman Future': Biotechnology as a Threat to Human Nature

To quote Mr. Fukuyama, "In a sense, all technology is biotechnology: machines interacting with human organisms. Technology is designed to overcome the frailties and limitations of human beings in a state of nature -- to make us faster, stronger, longer-lived, smarter, happier. And all technology raises questions about its real contribution to human welfare: are our lives really better for the existence of the automobile, television, nuclear power?"
