I came to say basically what Ken has already said, but this did stir some very scattered thoughts.
If you've read Sapiens and can adopt the same optimism as the author, then you're probably ready for this. I know I am. Imagining a world with drastically reduced mental illnesses as an aside to this project is quite wonderful. Imagining a world where everyone's dials are set to the same defaults is unfortunate.

15 years ago I had a friend who was so upset by the movie A.I. because it implied that cloning and other advancements were playing God. It, too, is a really old conversation bridging ethics and religion and other topics. I always wondered why Christians believe we were all created in the image of the Creator but struggle to come to terms with the idea that we could be destined to become the Creator ourselves. I'm curious what people of other faiths think about it, but I never think to ask.
