This is one of those areas where I wouldn't assert too strong an opinion yet because I don't fully understand both sides of the argument.
I am very excited about the possibility of directing our own evolution. While I count myself as a Humanist, I am often dismayed at the observation that as a species, we seem to be intelligent enough to be capable of remarkable accomplishments but yet stupid enough to do things like elect Donald Trump as President of the United States.
I think we NEED to improve ourselves. But I am open to safe-guards so that the best of us direct the direction we improve in. Just imagine Donald Trump in charge of genetically engineering the next generation.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
