The Future of Human Nature
Bodies stuffed with prosthesis to boost performance, the intelligence of angels available on hard drives, these are fantastical images. There is a fusion, between the organically grown and technologically made on the one hand, and the separation of the human mind from live subjectivity on the other.
Whether these speculations are the product of a feverish imagination or serious predictions, I refer to them only as examples of an instrumentalization of human nature initiating a change in our self-understanding as a species.
The manipulation of the human genome, which is being aggressively decoded, and the hope entertained by certain scientists of soon being able to take evolution into their own hands, after all, uproot the distinction between the subjective and the objective, the naturally grown and technologically made, man and machine. What is at stake is the future of the human species as we know it, and our ability to conceive of ourselves as the authors of our own life stories.
The ruthless intrusion into the makeup of the human genome of the embryo will blur the intuitive distinction between the grown and the made, ones “self” and the engineers “program”—with repercussions reaching as far as the self-reference of the person to his or her own bodily existence. The vanishing point of self-hood lies somewhere in the extent to which an adolescent’s body, for example, is revealed to him as eugenically manipulated, as something which is also “made.” Here the first-person perspective of “being-oneself” collides with the third-person external perspective of “being-an-observer-to-one’s-own-life.”
“Did I do that?” the adolescent asks himself, “or was that the hand of my genetic engineer, reaching through my genome, who really chose to do that for me?”
Genetically fixed demands are irreversible and cannot be responded to. Will the adolescent ever feel like the undivided author of his own life story again, or but a co-author, or worse, less? And who will be held responsible for his actions? The programming intentions of parents or of the state might have existential consequences for the pre-programmed adolescent. The change would take place in the mind.
This does not seem like an enhancement to me, but rather the exercise of power of those living today over those coming after. The other side of genetic power today, is the future bondage of the living dead. How might this new and a-symmetrical power of the past over the future be shattered?

Southern Poverty Law Center "SPLC" Deemed Hate Group
The Southern Poverty Law Center’s David Holthouse, along with other pro-sodomy and anti-Christian hate groups have published attacks on pro-religious freedom and family activist Kyle Bristow, in a disgusting attempt to silence his opposition to their campaign for the normalization of sodomy.
Now, pro-family groups nationwide are intent on rebuking the Southern Poverty Law Center’s propagandistic tactics by seeking both legal and non-legal recourse.
The controversy began when Kyle Bristow, a senior at Michigan State University and Chairman of the universities Young American’s for Freedom chapter invited Ryan Sorba to speak on the issue of his forthcoming book, “The Born ‘Gay’ Hoax.” Sorba argues that the "gay" identity is a complete fabrication, contrived by pro-sodomy activists in a legal and public relations campaign to gain minority status as a suspect class under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Sorba quotes at length various leaders of the pro-sodomy movement, who admit that there is no such thing as being “born gay” or an innate "homosexuality.” Sorba argues that same-sex attractions are a developmental condition, arising in response to early sexual abuse and other dysfunctional environmental conditions. Sorba states, “The American people have been deceived by a crafty few political activists, whose stated goal it is to gain complete acceptance for sodomy and other deviant sexual behaviors.”
Upon learning of Bristow’s event, organizations such as the Southern Poverty Law Center began to circulate articles which many consider to be libel on the internet. This is not the first time that Bristow has been attacked by the anti-Christian and anti-American hate group.
“The attacks have been incessant.” stated Bristow, “The Southern Poverty Law Center has been engaged in a program of both deceit and intimidation against me. They are bullies. They are afraid to attack larger conservative organizations that have the necessary resources to combat the Center’s lies, so the multi-million dollar operation resorts to bullying college students.”
The majority of the attacks have come from one, David Holthouse, a writer for the organization. Holthouse’s article is a blatant hit piece on both Bristow and Sorba, and it makes false accusations about Bristow that may be considered libel. Now, unless the article in reference is promptly removed from the internet and an official apology is received, the Young American's for Freedom will take legal action against the law center.
Further, in response to the Southern Poverty Law Center's isolation of conservatives as dehumanized targets, and in response to it's deliberate attempts vilify college students with whom they simply disagree, the Young Conservative's of California have voted to declare the SPLC a hate group.
