What is a man? Is he defined by things like morphology or longevity? If form alters content - that is, if the shape of the container fundamentally influences what it contains - what will it mean to society if a man no longer resembles a man?

If those things which have always driven us - birth, aging and death - are altered or eliminated, will it make us into something new? If a man need not fear death, will that make us more human than our ancestors, or less?

These questions will be addressed, I believe, by modern science within the upcoming decade. But is the world ready for the answers?

>birth eliminated
shitty mass-produced humans crowd out real ones; essentially the same as hostile AI takeover
>aging eliminated
more people exist, probably wars and shit; honestly the least horrible of these
>death eliminated

The oft lauded "Singularity" comes to mind. Seems like a pipe dream, and a deflection of the more human concerns and questions. You can't escape the fundamental human questions through technology.

we only accept mortality as a human concern because we're forced to

using our intellect and creativity towards the goal eliminating the disease of death is the most human thing we could possibly do
