Concept
Humans are going to be increasingly “modified”. This broader thesis explores how humans are going to be continually biologically and mechanically modified, treated, and selected.
Longer Description
This thesis includes areas ranging from CRISPR to exoskeletons to embryo editing and screening (you'll see crossover with Future of Family Planning repo in this regard). At a high level it looks at areas such as:
- Pre-IVF Embryo screening
- Embryo editing
- Science driven treatments
- Hardware driven treatments
- Science driven enhancements
- Hardware driven enhancements (Ai-enabled bionic limbs)
- Life-extension practices (Elysium, regenerative)
- Life-preservation practices (freezing, Stem cell banking)
Other Thoughts
- There are a lot of second-order effects that are societal issues that get wrapped into a bunch of companies. Michael has written about this dynamic before here.
