The words that were mine were in the square brackets. All the others
-- including the one you quoted as mine -- were by Egan or the

I don't have the word "transhuman" and disgree with Egan. I find it
peculiar that he thinks the word is so repellent, rather than some of
the disturbing scenarios he writes.
