To that end, Fukuyama argues that immediate legislative action is needed to halt this slide into posthumanness. To which I respond, "Keep your Fukuyama laws off of my genes!" Who asked him, anyway?

Which is kind of disappointing, because "The End of History" is well worth the read. It's a fascinating viewpoint, albeit one that for me was ultimately unconvincing - Fukuyama frames the end of history in terms of a hokey rehashing of Hegelian dialectics. And while it's sort of amusing to see the arguments of the Marxists used against them, it's ultimately unsatisfying unless you a priori accept the dialectical view of history anyway. And he makes kind of a hash of Hegel to boot. I liked it, but I didn't believe it for a minute. ;)
