transhuman....whhhaattt?

Many of you might have read the piece about transhumanists and the LGBT in the Huffington Post.

The more I read the piece, the angrier I became. so many of the premises are wrong!

First the author proudly talks about reading a story to his four year old daughter a story where the same sex characters have romantic feelings.

Kids don;t need romance in their stories, nor do they need to read indoctrination pieces.I was appalled by how PROUD the author claimed to be. No wonder the powers that be want to start indoctrinating our kindergarteners with stuff they neither need nor want. There it is...this is the new religion. And they intend every child to be part of it.

the next two paragraphs continue with more startling stuff...

"It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that the LGBT movement and transhumanism have a lot in common. Nearly all transhumanists support the LGBT cause. After all, a desire to be free to alter, express, and control one's sexual preference and identity sounds like a transhumanist concept. Advocates of transhumanism aim to alter, express, and control their bodies and preferences too, except they emphasize doing it with science and technology. If you look closely, the two movements -- especially some of their major philosophies -- are practically different sides of the same coin, and each is poised to gain strength from one another in the future as radical technologies transform the species.

In the next 25 years, the human being will undergo a larger transformation of its evolutionary body than it has undergone in the last 100,000 years. Artificial hearts will likely become better than real hearts. Telepathy via brain implants will become an important form of communication. Men will be able to give birth with implanted uteri. Each of these technologies already exists in some form and will soon be more widely available."

So...it's not good enough to have sex with anyone you want or dress anyway you want ( five percent of the population) this group wants to be on the forefront of new artificial organs and....men having uteri?

It gets even better. Women need not have uteri , they might not like having cramps.

"B.J. Murphy is right. The future will be anything but simple. Already, within two decade's time, parents may choose to have designer babies without certain sexual organs. Is a uterus necessary if you have ectogenesis (use of artificial wombs)? Or does it just present extra cancer risk and, for some, decades of painful, crampy menstrual cycles?"

So, being female is a liability, and no woman would want to suffer. But men want uteri. Head splitting yet?

"Frankly, I could see many humans in the future stopping physical sex altogether as cranial implant technology finds precisely the right means to stimulate erogenous zones in the brain -- something researchers are already working on. Real sex will probably not be able to match direct and scientifically targeted stimulation of our minds. Such actions may lead to a society where male and female traits disappear as pleasure becomes "on-demand," and gene therapy is able to combine the most functional parts of both genders into one entity. Not surprisingly, some institutions like marriage may end up going the way of the dinosaurs.

So we want weird mixed up bodies..not just to express who we are, but to have cyber sex?You don;t need to change your body for that!

First, as an atheist, this author assumes science is correct with evolutionary theory ...which changes constantly. we are babes in the woods with our science...and frankly, we look for evidence to fulfill our belief in evolution. On top of that...none of the things the gentleman refers to are actual evolution. changing your body is not genetically transmitted. using artificial uteri to grow babies is just a method. nothing changes about the human organism. And ending normal bonded pairs, raising their children,something that has worked throughout history, makes no sense in terms of evolution either. He himself is raising..his own child. Odd, yes, I know. But he is of the elite you see, so all of his decisions are ..um...correct?

What it does accomplish is further severing ties between mother father and child. You are just choosing to raise a child designed as you wish, no more. the hormone and body changes , the feeling your baby move as it grows, and the process of birth ( which is biologically a good thing, the stress and pressure getting those lungs ready to breathe air) all gone. Just no gender blobs ready for input.

Robots.

And let's not have anything like a difference, a genetic "problem" ever born again. The state will decide if your child is perfect enough to live.

Secondly, the entire slant of the piece is so misogynistic I am surprised the gentleman's "many gay friends" who were lesbians didn;t come beat him to death.Taking the power of creation (carrying a child) away from women once again assumes they are inferior. Can we assume all those "modifications" talked about will slant towards male characteristics? Or can we just stop women from existing at all.?

This is an avowed goal of some gay activists. Just create a race of perfect young males....properly raised to provide sexual pleasure to their older counterparts, who are getting artificial organs to extend their lives.

A couple of very obvious points to all of this....

who can afford it?

the elite. thus, the LGBT community is tightly wrapped up in the liberal fascism taking more and more control of our country. Waiting for their payoff.

You and I. the hoi polloi, need not apply. WE are the dinosaurs he is talking about, the evolutionary dead end. People of faith.People of color. Of average abilities.Think about it, a nation of worker bees providing special treatments for the elite.

One final thought. the obvious end goal of all of this social disruption and biology wrecking technology is to reach immortality. Having thrown God out the window, these folks want to have it all, everything God promised us, but without having to change their selfish sinful attitudes at all.

This cold selfish future is one I will be glad not to live to see.

I know who started that train of thought. He's been doing it since man was created.The same lie told to Eve still works.

Welcome the reign of Satan.

Come soon Lord Jesus!
