According to transhumanists
(with special thanks to Doctors Musk and Gates)
DNA is just hackable code
and our operating system could use a cloud-based upgrade.
Remember Homo Novis?
You didn’t monkey with his cells to make a new man.
To make the body live forever
would make a really, really old man.
Not even Brad Pitt wants that.
But with the new technology,
Our prison can be rebuilt from within,
Brick by brick.
It can be so pretty!
Remind me when I asked for all this help.
Remind me when it even crossed my mind.
(They can do that now.)

The Nazis gave eugenics a bad name, so Julian Huxley (brother of Aldous) renamed it transhumanism
