I'm sorry, what? It's the same concept as behind genetically modified crops, or these engineered fish, just applied to humans. We can't do anything spectacular yet but we could certainly tinker around with human genetics, and that would be transhumanism in practice. As genetic engineering becomes more sophisticated, we will be able to tinker with genetics in ways which produce measurable benefits to the individual. From a scientific standpoint, it's no big deal.

Think of GM crops as transcrops
