"Oh you can state it, you'd be incorrect though :) All that gibberish about GM products, you forgot to mention that they KEEP US ALIVE. Secondly, it's flawed in that one person's idea of what is improvement is vastly different from another’s. Religion exists to explain what is both infinite and expanding - what the scientific method had never been able to do. Of course, it does not stop there. You've disproved nothing.

Trouble with mankind is that we do not often work together long before someone decides to make himself a higher name and give himself more authority than the others. For example, females being aborted disproportionately in Asia. effer. Transhumanism intends to use sophisticated technology to engineer and upgrade the human population’s intellect and physiology to superhuman levels. Transhumanism is eugenics, indeed! To that point, do you find that clothing, which make us warmer than naturally possible, and shoes, which allow us to walk on rough surfaces, skii's, tennis rackets, cars and girdles too, are all transhumanist products? Of the many things that aren't the least bit funny concerning these minions of the new atheist movement, is their never ending veneration of Charles Darwin. What you then have is a completely contradictory book. ", "In fact, what one of us can and can't do is more relevant to you. Social psychology has been studied and mastered to such an extent that when The Gates Foundation plants Monsanto seed in Africa - people think of that as philanthropy, rather than the purposeful spreading of biomechanics that prevent reproduction. Frankly, I'm overwhelmed with this incredible information. How could all of this ever be rectified in the minds of the cattle, i.e., the public? And there things remained right up until Nazi Germany decided to do all of the stuff described in the first paragraph, whereupon it became the touchstone for all that is evil and eugenics was indelibly tarred with some seriously bad PR.
Do you see how this works?

Religion. "You say that transhumanism is simply improving or "enhancing" humans - but you're no fool, you well see that it is going to all fall around economic lines. To me, this attempt at enslavement while much more subtle than any in the past since it tries so hard to make the slave happy and accepting of his/her/their fate is still doomed to failure. Dear Wes ~ What a fascinating hubpages on eugenics. Whenever someone wants to rescue the word "transhumanism" they simply have to face the facts of who created the word, and what the intentions were in creating another term for "eugenics." The fact that it was there as a very valid excuse for committing crime is a fault in itself. The one on this hub is pretty decent - but the narrator's voice gets sort of tiresome...but that's not important. But eugenics is always going to be plain wrong, because someone must be the judge as to who lives and who dies.

There is the general concept, and there is what we have currently. Surrounded by God's country. Yes the dependency is an issue, but it's not as big an issue as widespread global famine... "Modern transhumanism is rooted in eugenics, and is, in fact, eugenics. This is necessary to sign in to the HubPages Service.

The key is in being aware of what is happening and speaking up when you see something is afoot. I agree with Marx about the nature of capitalism, but I say that without endorsing communism.

@WD, outrageous!

Retarded people are not likely to be able to afford...."enhancements."". There is a fun book for the vintage science fiction fan. ", Okay, well, it's plain that retarded people don't make much money! ", "What a joke.

. Ever since Edward Bernaise (worth looking up) has America's population been subjected to mind numbing conditioning. It took a whistle blower and bad publicity to stop the study.

The only way to fix this problem would actually be to implement eugenics or gene therapy to weed out the undesirables by immoral methods, or something like gene therapy. At a glance it might make sense. CRISPR Cas9 technology is being embraced by Transhumans all over the world. The suggestion that truly wicked things have been done without a spiritual or religious motive gets them more angry than anything else. Because it -seems- more productive which means that everyone on a whole should be richer. I hope that nobody takes your claim seriously :Eugenics is the culling of genes through the means of murdering and sterilising to preserve what are deemed to be "superior genes" within a population. And like you say, there are problems with capitalism. I see evidence of nothing - are you coherent? I knew you'd not disappoint me! CMHypno - the whole thing with people's insecurities concerning their bodies is ...always sad. Now let's please take just a moment to think about this. But I disagree with you when you agree with "comparing transhumanism to eugenics is like attacking religion due to the crusades."
Maybe that's over your head - but it's common literary devices. I think transhumanism is more inclined to where it's goals are to control the human mind. I love the way you said, "The suggestion that truly wicked things have been done without a spiritual or religious motive gets them more angry than anything else".

Preposterous! The words clearly state "kill them in front of me.".

It's nature.

a great writer. It's why we can understand The Gates Foundation and Monsanto in Africa while knowing that it's all wrong. It's a wonderful fiction with all manner of obscure historical sub plot - but Italian novelist, Umberto Eco. So if that's valid, then so is this - both are either valid or invalid. On a more positive note eugenicists were generally in favor of making contraception available to limit population. It's plain that the very word terrorism has been manipulated with various and sundry legalities to mean exactly anything that the elites of the corporate and banking machine deem undesirable while always excluding the activities and actions of the persons holding the proverbial gun from which their power is derived. Lastly, and most importantly, it is the epitome of hubris. ", I hear some crazy stuff, but the least well thought out thing I hear said is that "religions caused _____". Even at my age, I've sometimes been opinionated and a jerk, but not necessarily at the same time. My great hope is that the common man will always be valued by the majority and that the majority will never by taken in by evil parading about as scientific advancement. I do need to re-watch that video/film 'the age of transitions' to see how I feel about it now a few years later.

@Philanthropy2012 likes to think he's intelligent. Whatever the founding of eugenics is, now, in modern time, eugenics and being rich are very unrelated subjects. [Check out Beware In Sources and Articles Written Against Homeopathy & Homeopathic Remedies].
