Ignacio at The Web of Belief claims we're already mutants:

Furthermore, our real problem is that we are not ready to confront this twinly defined mutant aspect of ourselves. We have only just, as Heidegger himself might put it, begun to move towards the question of what our own mutanthood entails for us as self-conscious beings. How should one live in this world in which we are thrown? As there are no formulae currently available for answering this question or even knowing what it really asks, it seems like a good place for philosophers to contribute via a use of their special skills of careful argument, clarification, and attention to important distinctions. I therefore invite you, as other intentional systems fastened to dying animals and living in a half silicon life-world, to join me in the attempt. . .

I've noticed this demand or request that philosophers come and solve or explain things making the rounds. Caveat: Be careful what you ask for!  ¶ 7:01 AM
