From the recentTranshumanist Reader: "The most frightening apartheid one could imagine is a future world in which extended life is allowed only to a few – the very wealthy, the political elite and their chosen followers, Mafia, military, scientists, sports heroes, movie stars. This is not the transhumanist objective – far from it. It is up to all of us to ensure that this segmented future never happens. We will not best prevent it by denouncing technical advances and trying to blockade them, but in thinking hard, feeling deeply and wisely, debating the issues together, and acting as free men and women".
