I&#x27;m just curious, why is it terrifying?  Would a super intelligent human being produced by science be any more terrifying then one that occurred naturally?  Couldn&#x27;t we be creating a being that could push us forward collectively?  Think about the contribution to modern life Einstein, John Von Neumann, and Bohr had.  If we had a way to make very intelligent designer humans, there could be a chance they could push us collectively forward in a similar way.  I imagine that an Einstein born now, with access to the whole worlds information could be much more impactful (or maybe he would just succumb to liking cat videos.)  All humans designer or not can be terrifying, beautiful, impactful, and other worldly.  You don&#x27;t have to be unnatural to be an evil bastard, and maybe an engineered human could be like Gandhi.  Don&#x27;t prejudge, just because its unnatural doesn&#x27;t mean it is not good.<p>Just like GMO doesn&#x27;t mean bad (I eat organic food by the way), a lot of this goes to intent.  If science wants to push us forward and make us better.  I&#x27;m all for it.  If they want to engineer us to be resistant to industrial chemicals or pollution so that companies can pollute more, or make super soldiers that is when you have to be terrified .  Not just because we have something artificial.
