None, of course. But why that arbitrary deadline?
Because I think in less than 500 years our mastery of all the processes behind all human function would be so complete all mysticism surrounding human beings, value of experience, and the potency of the will, feeling and thought will be totally gone, and we will be able to manufacture humans of any desired size, age, knowledge, experience, inclination, personality on order in fabrication plants. Biological reproduction, child rearing, education etc will be superfluous. Embryos will no longer occur in human society.
