<pre>Hello Keith,
About human species going biologically extinct, is that something worth
worrying over, or would it in fact be a blessing? Or neutral? Or just a
logical continuation of our current way of life and technological
progress?
Best regards,

As with a number of other transhumanist-themed ideas, I think we
have to be very careful of the language we use, because it can
easily be misunderstood.<br>
<br>
The difference between "going biologically extinct" and "going
extinct" is probably not going to be appreciated by most people.<br>
<br>
Can we come up with an alternative term or phrase that won't
automatically make people hostile to the idea of uploading?<br>
<br>
I'm thinking about something that includes the idea of 'migration'
rather than 'extinction'. Movement rather than death.<br>
