Hi Clair,
it's a transhumanists attempt I think to coopt disability.
I think we haven't given enough attention to how they view disability.
Another more scary text is a thread
http://www.homoexcelsior.com/archive/transhuman/msg01706.html
read through the whole thread if you like. But it's rather bad so if you
get very emotional very fast you might not want to read it.
Because transhumanism is so much based on performance body enhancement as
the flipside of the coin many in that group have a very negative view of
the 'less abled lie the disabled'
Another interesting article is below because it tries to justify genetic
enhancement through the back door by saying we already physically enhance
people.
