The highest functioning set of animals on earth is the human race.
Humans are smarter than the rest, capable of abstract thought, but disordered in a lot of ways.

I think its a safe bet that Bill Gates et al are in think tanks contemplating what the next gen of bio-engineered humans is going to be.
It is not going to be anyone like any of us.

A big question is...how do they plan to get rid of all the unwanted leftovers that won't make the cut?
