Oh I absolutely agree that cell phones are the first stage in humans merging with technology. However, the point I was making was regarding the ultimate aim of eugenics which is to become immortal. In my opinion, immortality is an aim born out of fear. The fear of death.
Our experience here as humans is so precious simply because we all die. Eventually. If we were all immortal, we would lose the value of life and the world would be a very VERY different place (and not in a good way) I believe the fact we all die is what makes us all special.

Western society views death as a bad thing, as something to fear at all costs. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this mindset evolved and we all learned to embrace death as the next chapter in our experience? After we had made our mark on the world and contributed something good.

This topic can get deeply religious very quickly so I'm trying to approach it from a logic perspective. As human beings, none of us have a right to claim ownership of this world. We are all here for a short amount of time so lets live a positive life and build a better world for the people who follow us when we pass on.
