Disquisition in light of AP technology
- AP technology comes in the believe package
- biotechnology belongs to the brownian technology path and is not related to APM
Problems with the choosen term:
- bunching togehter
- *ism ... scientism
- "in"human is linguistically near
- trans biological - no tampering with genes
- creeping effect - complete replacement
ethical dangers:
- "one dimensional" beauty ideal - loss of diversity
- instability dangers - technological singularity - birth rate locus
- Will human population last long enough that there will be natural ways for biological humans to switch to diamondoid artificial bodies. Or will by the time the technology reaches that point humanity already have severely declined? (See: human overpopulation)
- Is there a risk that biological humans lose "something" important when they move into completely artificial bodies?
- If all our descendants have artificially created minds will they lack "something" ?
