   Genetic evolution is not a planned process. It has no goals, no purpose, and no plans. Through random changes the organism is modified. Death and destruction is then used to sort out the defectives. A complex function developed in this manner is riddled with errors and inconsistencies. There are more than 30,000 cataloged genetic defects in the human genome - and the search is only beginning.

   Before the human, survival was sought by many organisms, essentially all of the mobile biological mechanisms. With these others, however, the drive for survival was instinctive, a mechanism developed within the organisms by the relentless pressure of the evolution process. That same drive is still in the human, but with a new component. Intellect now provides an understanding of the old need for survival along with a new concept: that of species survival and the plight of all other forms of life in the ecosystem. The human realizes that even survival on this earth is not the final answer. Life in total is in jeopardy. A wayward comet could eliminate the fruits of four billion years of development in an instant. Unknown dangers lurk within the core of the earth itself. A wayward maniac with all of the power modern man has invented at his disposal, could eradicate all of life with but a touch of a button. Finally, the earth will someday be part of a brief but spectacular planetary nebula as the sun dies. Life on earth will then come to an end. And if all of these should be avoided, there are other dangers as yet unknown in the far distant future.
   The natural process called evolution is about to be transformed by the human. The human will gain engineering control over the evolution process. No longer will the species suffer the death and misery caused by the environment weeding out the defectives, nor will the species continue to suffer the degeneration and indignities of a crippled evolution. Starting with the correction of all known genetic diseases, the human species will be the first to be freed from the bondage of a cruel and senseless natural process, all other forms of compatible life will follow soon after. Evolution will then be positive throughout the ecosystem, with every change made on the basis of improvement. It will be steady, since each positive modification is included in the next platform for which further improvement may be considered. All species will become dynamic, under constant upgrading.
