There is a dangerous philosophy emerging in our fast-paced, technology-driven world of which most people are totally unaware. And yet, when Francis Fukuyama, economist at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, was asked what idea posed the “greatest threat to the welfare of humanity,” his answer was this philosophy.
And yet I am positive most Catholics have never heard of it. Catholics certainly do not realize that they are being fed a steady diet of images in popular media that play right to the more seductive aspects of this ideology.
What is it? It is transhumanism. “What is that?” you ask. Transhumanism is a philosophy that seeks to use technology to surpass treating or preventing disease and use it to enhance otherwise healthy humans beyond natural capabilities.

@kilo papa: Actually, Roe v. Wade repossessed your private parts as property of the state without your informed consent, giving it all to a woman to abort, again without your informed consent. I suspect this is why you are so angry. Please learn to direct your anger contructively, at the militant feminists who have emasculated every male created since 1973. You are a survivor of an abortionist. You still must deal with the state disenfranchising you of your genetive seed…and before the government taxes you for it. at least as a sovereign person.

In addition Kilo papa: It is the duty of the state "to secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity." It is the duty of the state to protect virginity, innocence, truth and beauty to beget JUSTICE. The state has given us condoms that do not protect from HIV/aids, herpes and the like, fake husbands and fake wives, pornography, lies about the human person and human sexual trafficking. You were created in original innocence.

In the 1970s babies were aborted for a condition diagnosed as “mosaicism”. An untold number of children were aborted before scientists learned that “mosaicism” was a normal condition at five months in utero. OOOps. And now, man is going to trust his very life to an “OOOps”. Our tax dollars fundamentally abusing our human nature without our informed consent, making of all sovereign persons property of the state.

@Anonymous 5:85 How can you be unaware that the state has made your seed property of the state? JUSTICE requires that the state acknowledge your sovereign personhood over your own destiny as you pursuit of Happiness…from our Declaration of Independence. I would like for all men to be acknowledged as men in JUSTICE. Property of the state is slavery. Slavery is addiction to the GREAT LIAR.

@Anonymous 5:58: In the words of our beloved Mother Angelica in one of her classics aired last week: "I am not going to hell on a penis". May God love and bless her.

Mary, I pray to Allah that the Great Son of God, our Savior, Marty McFly, goes back in time and retroactively aborts you.
