I would be happy to have bio-ethicists become more broad-minded, btw. Come on, guys! Screw transhumanism! Don’t you see ethical problems in non-transhumanism-related bio research being done today?
That identifying a living organism still often requires killing it doesn’t raise your hackles?
That people insist on ‘real’ collections of preparations (e.g., of mites or butterflies) instead of virtual (digitized) collections?
That plants for herbarization are collected whole, but their root systems are mostly described very vaguely?
There is just so much waste in biological research, so much unforgivable lack of coordination. And they argue about genetic enhancements.
