With the coming of the gene age, should the human species in its natural state be protected like other endangered species?

We now live in an era where profound genetic manipulation is a fact of life. Assuming genetic manipulation is here to stay I offer several thought provoking questions.

Should human beings be allowed to live in a natural state, and should they be protected much like we protect other species?

If we do choose to protect natural humans with dignity (ie not as a slave race)to what end should be dedicate resources, rights, and privileges?

If you’re worried about the upcoming robot apocalypse featured prominently in movies like iRobot or Terminator, check out this concept of a defense company that deals specifically with the growing robotic threat.

Weapons Against Robots (WAR) is a defense company that specializes in combating our titanium oppressors. They feature products such as advanced weapon systems, detection systems (that way you won’t have to train dogs to sniff them out) and “robo virus” protection that promises “real time infiltration, adaption and reporting.”

Although the site is probably just an artistic mock-up or a futurist marketing ploy, it’s still a kick. Check it out.
