[extropy-chat] Article: WORLD magazine worries about nanotech andtranshumanism

[Hughes, James J.]

By the way, the biocon nano-critic Nigel Cameron in this piece is also
the person who wrote in this week's Christianity Today that
transhumanism needs to be opposed because:
 
"when Jesus returns-Jesus the incarnate Son of God, the first-century
Palestinian Jew, his flesh and blood glorified but still his own-when he
returns in power and glory to call us to account, what will he find?
Will he find faith upon the earth? Will he even find men and women? Or
will he say, as he searches for fellow members of homo sapiens, the
species he made in his image and took to be his own, and meets
self-invented, designer beings, quite literally, 'I never knew you"?'"
