Transhumanism
indianabob:
What would we expect to happen? We are fallible humans. We would rush to screw it up!
Guaranteed....it would implode in most cases. Most people would intentionally push the system beyond its operational limits just to see what would happen. WE live for thrills.
Why do we think God didn't make us immortal or instant healers as soon as we were injured? Because we would keep jumping out of trees and breaking stuff just like kids on skate boards or dirt bikes. All for dumb thrills...

Yep. I agree IndianaBob. 1903 was the invention of the airplane... The physical implications air travel had on world relations was huge... But it didn't take long for us to strap an atomic bomb to one of them things and destroy life. The internet brought people's minds together... But within a few years we realized the potential for spying on every mode of communication of everyone. Who knows what the spiritual implications will be when people are tempted to cheat death. Death is our portion and consequence of our sin. How will man use this technology to further corrupt men's souls?
People will always take the next available breakthrough in technology and use it to control people and seize power. Hypothetical or inevitable we'll soon find out.
