“Today’s world is distinctive in that technoscience has brought these processes into consciousness and initiated debate about them. Hence, ‘they may be maintained or developed — perhaps up to and beyond the limits of speciation — only through deliberate choice for biodiversity and suprahuman change.’[152]
This particularly worries such humanist thinkers as Jürgen Habermas. He warns against what he calls the ‘uncanny scenario’ of a ‘genetic communitarianism’ according to which various subcultures pursue the eugenic self-optimising of the human species in different directions, hence jeopardising the unity of human nature as a basis for all to understand and mutually recognise one another.[153]”
