Dialogue on the Human Genome/Human Phenome versus ‘The META-Human Genome’.
Dear Reader,
My Colleague’s Statement: “A systematically experimental attitude
towards solving the problems of living in nature is an inherited evolutionary
asset enabling humanity to adapt to fluctuating conditions without the human
organism changing at the genetic level: change at the level of culture, not change
at the level of the human genome.”
“So, once the genetic predisposition to adapt via experimentation was established, in the genome, there was no further need to become anything other than human in the human-genomic sense.”
My reply: “There is, of course, the emerging possibility
of the irruption of a genomically-transformed species of the ‘meta-human’, via
self-re-engineering of the human genome, mediated through the [technological] ‘human
phenome’, at the presently-looming stage of its historical, technological
development.”
“This might involve
genotypic changes to enhance longevity, and genotypic changes to render the
human body better adapted to space travel, at least to travel among the
potentially ‘Terraformable’ planets and moons of our Solar System.”
“Such changes might
involve adding chloroplasts to the subcutaneous human lymphatic flow,
turning the ‘meta-human’ skin a shade of green, and enabling “mere sunbathing”
to infuse the ‘meta-human’ body with carbohydrates, etc., and with
micronutrients that, today, only plants make, and that humans must take in
pill, etc., form, externally, and that promote greater “healthspan” for genomic
humans, also allowing “mere sunbathing” to generate some supplemental Oxygen,
otherwise inhaled from ‘externity’, and to absorb some respiratory-metabolism-produced
Carbon Dioxide, otherwise unused and exhaled to ‘externity’.”
“If these engineered “mutations”
in the human genome, in the formation of the ‘meta-human’ genome, were merely
to extend healthy lifespan, the demand for human to ‘meta-human’ conversions
among many genomic humans would likely induce the most price-inelastic demand
in economic history.”
¡Enjoy!
