We are making ourselves extinct - transhumanism

2001

One could accept the idea of human kind becoming extinct. The whole race could evolve into a collective consciousness of minds, interacting with one another and finding optimal solutions to all problems. The new race would engineer bodies and use them as tools that are needed to accomplish mobility tasks. The speeding thought process in this collection of minds would be an iterative process, a source of energy for new ideas. The conventional biological homo sapiens sapiens body would become a natural gateway between the dawn of intelligence and artificial new species, which would work towards the goal to be fit for eternal existence.

A Christian fantasy becomes true

Hans Moravec, once said:

"All we have to do is get rid of these bodies and these brains. "I have faith in these computers," Hans Moravec said. "This is not some way of tricking you into being less than you are; you're going to be more than you are. You're going to be more intelligent, you'll be able to do much more, understand much more, go more places, not die - all those things. "It really is a sort of a Christian fantasy: this is how to become pure spirit." (source: http://slate.msn.com/id/111178/ )
