FWIW, I'd a transhumanist-related argument in the recent immortality thread w/ Esaman (who self-types LII); he was using a similar line of argument as the one you described.



I'm ambivalent to arguing for/against the ethics of 'transhumanism'. The proliferation of technological means to modify/enhance the human condition is inevitable.
Your reading comprehension ability is why I could not have been bothered to continue that conversation. I specifically explained how my reasons have nothing to do with naturalism.
