Humanity Quote by Yuval Noah Harari
““Designer babies may one day become as technologically feasible as murdering people to harvest their organs – yet remain as peripheral. Just as we have escaped the clutches of Chekhov’s Law in warfare, we can also escape them in other fields of action. Some guns appear on stage without ever being fired. This is why it is so vital to think about humanity’s new agenda.””
