>Do my son's engineered superpowers make him more human, or less? Most people don't even know what human means, this idea of superpowers affecting your humanity just means you didn't grow beyond comic book stories. >The more different you are, the more valuable you become. Only in blind people's eyes who can not even see that every atom in this Universe is unique. How can you be more (or less) different than that? >How can we respect someone's humanness while also giving them the choice to become more like the majority of humans? There is no majority, only individuals. It's just an image in your mind if you travel around the world a bit you will see how limited this is. >In a world that values difference Maybe it's time to stop calling your neighborhood a world? :) >It's seductively easy to imagine a world in which we're a little smarter or a bit more creative, in which our kids have the latest advantage Kids have an advantage in every generation. The question is how being a little smarter or creative is going to make you happier? The story tries to connect this to being different, "above the crowd". But if everyone is above the crowd then there is no crowd and nobody will look up to your difference. It's a dead-end in many ways, but peace, happiness, joy, bliss - it is all real and they have nothing to do with how others look on you.
