The Blueprint for a Post-Darwinian Transition to a Cruelty-Free World


Mission Statement of BLTC Research:
"BLTC RESEARCH was founded in 1995 to promote paradise-engineering. We are dedicated to an ambitious global technology project. BLTC seek [sic] to abolish the biological substrates of suffering. Not just in humans, but in all sentient life."

"...At present, life on earth is controlled by self-replicating DNA. Selfish genes ensure that pain and malaise are endemic to the living world.

"...Fortunately, the old Darwinian order - driven by blind natural selection acting on random genetic mutations - is destined to pass into evolutionary history.

"For third-millennium bioscience allows us to:
  • rewrite the vertebrate genome

  • redesign the global ecosystem

  • deliver genetically pre-programmed well-being

"In the new reproductive era ahead, biotechnology will make us smarter, happier and just possibly nicer. Post-Darwinian superminds can abolish 'physical' and 'mental' pain altogether."

From the faq: how can you help the cause? Build a website! (It's not hard!) If you're a student, read on:
"I'm a high-school student. What should I study to promote paradise-engineering?"
In the short-to-medium term, clinical psychopharmacology, molecular genetics and genomic medicine are useful disciplines. In the long run, the challenge of rewriting the vertebrate genome and redesigning the global ecosystem will take advances in quantum computing and nanotechnology. Studying philosophy, and in particular Ethics, can be valuable as well. Also, consider contributing to the Wikipedia."

Cyborgs rejoice!
