THE HEDONISTIC IMPERATIVE

[Otto Sell]

"This manifesto outlines a strategy to eradicate suffering in all sentient
life. The abolitionist project is ambitious, implausible, but technically
feasible. It is defended here on ethical utilitarian grounds. Nanotechnology
and genetic-engineering allow Homo sapiens to discard the legacy-wetware of
our evolutionary past. Post-humans will rewrite the vertebrate genome,
redesign the global ecosystem, and abolish suffering throughout the living
world."

Now what do we make of this?

Or of this:
"God has No Allergies":
     Immanent Ethics and the Simulacra of the Immune System

Are "post-humans" still to be called homo sapiens?

just to bring to attention, still reading...
