The problem with all this religious-like devotion to technology is that it does NOTHING to solve our innate flaws as humans. Being able to run faster, breathe underwater or live without sleep won't necessarily make you any less of a jerk when it comes to dealing with your fellow human beings. It all looks like a giant way to avoid dealing with our own personal issues by keeping us occupied with new toys.

In other words, do you want sociopaths to be able to beat the tar out of you without breaking a sweat? What about bionic pedophiles, how are you going to deal with THAT problem? It's one thing to cure disease or help augment people who lost functionality from accidents or violence. It's another thing entirely to try and recreate the ideals of Hitler's super race (Transhumanism is nothing more than a different name for Eugenics) just because you can do so.
