DIRECTING EVOLUTION. “Our newfound ability to write the code of life will profoundly change the world as we know it.” According to Enriquez, because we as humans can engineer both our environment and ourselves, humanity is now breaking the “boundaries” of our own natural existence and development which, of course, is described as “Darwinian evolution". http://www.activistpost.com/2011/11/genetically-modifying-new-human-species.html View in LinkedIn

TECHNOLOGY. "It will change even basic questions like sex. There used to be one way to have a baby. Now there are at least 17. We have decoupled sex from time. You can have a baby in nine months, or you can freeze sperm or a fertilized egg and implant it in 10 years or 100 years. You can create an animal from one of its cells. You can begin to alter reproductive cells. By the time you put this together, you’ve fundamentally changed how you reproduce and the rules for reproduction."

But this revolution will be more widespread because this is software that writes its own hardware." (Juan Enriquez). https://lnkd.in/dKSv-YU View in LinkedIn
