    I’m no expert to the subject but I just feel there’s no stopping it. So better just get used to the idea. Your own body is your own body and you don’t have to let anyrhing done to it.

    True, its probably going to happen but what happens when those people who have gone beyond, see themselves as better then us “normies”? You could be looking a whole new caste system like in Gattaca. What happens when people automatically think that the first group is “Smarter than us so why not let them have the reigns of government for a while?”

    Enough people believe that about government as it is, imagine it with a grouping of human beings. It would be like the Nazi’s on steroids.
