Article in the Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung

It is quite good. The title (translated to English) is “Enterprise
Immortality” and the subtitle “California in our heads: How the
transhumanists search for eternal life”. I am forwarding you the scanned
text from a post on the German transhumanist e-mail list.

There are some pictures of Natasha and you and (probably) of Natasha’s Primo
3M+ (according to the description in the e-mail below – I didn’t see the
article directly). A big part of the text is about improving the human body
and immortality. There is also input from a German transhumanists meeting in
Munich and some statements of Natasha. The article was even announced on the
front page of the newspaper. I think it is good to raise interest in
transhumanism.

Le point, France, late 2001.
From: Hélène Vissière

Organization: Le Point
My name is Helene Vissiere. I am a French journalist based in San Francisco, working for a newsmagazine called Le Point which is like Time.
For a next issue, I am planning to write about the Extropian movement and its influence. I have read texts you or your collegues wrote and I looked at your website but I have some more questions.
I spoke to Helene for 45 minutes the next week. She said she would send me the story when it came out.

“Designer People”:
Chapela is also worried about the lack of civic discourse. But the advocates are talking, particularly among themselves. At a Berkeley conference, one of them, Extropy Institute President Max More, stood before the crowd and read an open letter to Mother Nature:Sorry to disturb you, but we humans–your offspring–come to you with some things to say:
You have raised us from simple self-replicating chemicals to trillion-celled mammals;What you have made us is glorious, yet deeply flawed;We will no longer tolerate the tyranny of aging and death. Through genetic alterations, cellular manipulations, synthetic organs, and any necessary means, we will endow ourselves with enduring vitality and remove our expiration date.”
Other proponents are more sober, and include Nobel laureate scientists. “This is no ‘marginal’ movement or way of thinking,” Chapela says. “The group advocating human re-engineering includes extremely powerful, influential and wealthy people. So don’t expect them to roll over easily or soon.”

According to several people, I make a cameo appearance (under a different name) in Ken MacLeod’s The Cassini Division (August 2000).
