THey already modify their own bodies and provide for their children by making them resistant to disease or extending their life span via gene-writing. Soon they'll be moving into the 'why bother having a human shape' phase or 'no real barrier between organic and non-organic life' phase. His Commonwealth series looks at a society that has no fear of death whatsoever; everyone works towards not social security but to afford the process that clones a new 16-year-old body (save whatever modifications you decide upon) and transfers your memories (save the ones you want to discard).No limits, no limits.</blockquote>
