Directed evolution (transhumanism)

Directed evolution (also known as transhumanism) is a scientific way of using technology to make people better. It basically means using new techniques and technologies to improve our physical and mental abilities and be healthier, smarter and have longer lives. This can mean anything from genetic engineering to implants and other technologies that can help strengthen the human body and improve performance. By using different technologies, we can slowly change our DNA and other biological processes over time to make us better equipped to face the future.
