What future do you want for your children? What do you want them to inherit from your genetics, behaviour or the ramifications of your choices and beliefs?

As we bear the consequences of societal decisions of generations before us, we now face an ever-greater responsibility and power to directly shape human evolution. Our technological and scientific advancements wait in the sidelines restrained by a thin membrane of ethical guidelines. But will pressures of social-economic instability and environmental catastrophe break the dam?

Can you economically afford to change, or physically afford not to? Are you prepared to join the race?
