 I won't call for your excommunication because I know
better. Biochemistry can trace its roots back in an
unbroken chain all the way to the alchemists of
ancient Egypt. Hermes Trismejestus may have very well
been the world's first transhumanist. He did after all
publish some dozen books or so over a period of
several hundred years. Philosopher's stone, Elixir of
Life, Embryonic Stem Cells... all different facets of
the same jewel.
