We don't invent our natures. They're issued to us along with our lungs, our pancreas and everything else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From the time we're born until we die, we're kept busy with artificial stuff that isn't important.
We owe our existence to innovation. Our species exists thanks to four billion years of genetic innovation.
We should have lifelong monitoring of our vital signs that predict things like skin or pancreatic cancer so we can eradicate it. We should have personalized medicine; there's a huge amount of innovation possible.
I don't believe medical discoveries are doing much to advance human life. As fast as we create ways to extend it we are inventing ways to shorten it.
We are embedded in a biological world and related to the organisms around us.
Our world is built on biology and once we begin to understand it, it then becomes a technology.
We have to find our own purposes in life, which are not derived directly from our scientific history.
We need to be both conscious and competent to design products that emulate nature's life cycles, making sure that they endure and are either recycled or absorbed.
It is entirely up to us to invent our own lives.
We have become frighteningly effective at altering nature.
