The fate of most species is extinction. As the first intelligent agents, people can’t seriously expect our species to last for very long. Now that we have unleashed user-modifiable genetic materials on the planet, DNA’s days are surely numbered. Surely that’s a good thing. Today’s primitive and backwards biotechnology is a useless tangle of unmaintainable spaghetti code that leaves a trail of slime wherever it goes—who would want to preserve that?
