The perfect Human

[Arch Enemy]

While searching through OTH for a little bit, I remembered a hypothetical question that my brother asked me a while ago (I hope I can word it exactly the way he did):

If you had created the perfect human, and I mean the perfect human, one who excels greatly at every sport, strength, speed, intelligence, and is immune to every virus there is, and there ever will be, etc. And you were able to create more of these perfect humans (of course they can mate and make more perfect humans etc). Now would you kill off the whole human population (the imperfect population) to make way for the perfect human population?

If it seems somewhat confusing (which i dont think it does), then I probably did word it right.

So, would you?

Nope...Cause I'm not gonna die for those fucks. I don't care how "perfect" they are. A bullet can take down anyone, no matter how large that person is

I just think we should merge machinery and man. Have plastic tubes to replace arteries so they wont get weak and break, replace the heart with an automatic heart, replace a lot of bone with light metal. When you die, usually the first thing to go is your heart, and take supplements to deter brain deterioration.

Nature is already perfect

people need to die and suck at things for natural hierarchies to form


Imagine how bad overpopulation would be if people were immune to disease

Think of all the bastards kept alive if we could prevent dieing!

Agreed. Also what about morality in a perfect human being? That's the thing that needs to be addressed mostly and is the thing that is always going to be debatable between two people. A perfect specimen of a human being is nothing without the moral perfection.

Also.

Perfect Humans means a perfect society. If our society was perfect then how would we progress?

Most great inventions are created due to priority. An epidemic occurs or a crisis happens... and all great minds unite to solve it.

The by product of that solution can be something that progresses us humans.

A good example of this is the Hydrogen bomb development during World War II. Great minds banded together to create this and as a by product we discovered a new way to create energy.

Well, they would need perfect insitutions first, but I'm assuming perfectly intelligent and moral human beings would be capable of this.

Why would THEY want to progress? Maybe progress isn't a value of the perfect human being. Not to mention, they've already reached perfection...



note: I'm assuming all perfect human beings have the same exact values and ideals, otherwise they would create another dysfunctional society. It's just hard to imagine perfectly altruistic humans that would not look to their own interests to dominate others...but I guess it is why they're perfect and so "unhuman".

Why would you want to create a perfect human in the first place?
