Abstract
Technological interventions into biological
processes through genetic engineering in
the twenty-fi rst century could speed up evolution
at the velocity of light years in comparison
with the millions of years it took for
Homo sapiens to reach this stage of evolution
until this new millennium. Will these
technological assays lead to an eventual recrafting
of animal and human biology and
ontology? Does our Post-Darwinian future
lie in a post- or transhuman and post-species
transcendence to be achieved through
evolution by Intelligent Design controlled
not by God but by bio engineers in laboratories?
What challenges does this pose in
terms of rethinking bioethics?
