Not to mention the effects on transhumanism can vary on the desired effect...I wanted to build out different types...allowing a player, or gm to tailor make a character race.
This isn't for OTU so I don't have to worry about their laws, however the setting I am developing does outlaw it for a time, which even sparks a civil war.
I just think that humanity will strive for immortality and greatness when ever they can...atheletes today are bigger, stronger, faster, have more endurance than those 2 decades ago...and with health sciences moving forward, the same will be the case in 2 decades again...same with the avg lifespan of a human...it is continuing to go up...so what will the avg human lifespan be in 500 years? Will a human be tailor designed for specific tasks?
Today you can choose the sex, eye and hair color...what if I want my son to be able to benchpress 500 pounds and not look like a gorilla...(world record is 1005 lb) but also be able to compete academically... this is all easilly manipulated with science, especially within 50 years...whats possible in mere centuries blows my mind.
