A new critical article about ectogenesis (and transhumanism) from Wesley J. Smith at National Review Online.

A new critical article about ectogenesis (and transhumanism) from Wesley J. Smith at National Review Online. I disagree with Wesley here. I think an artificial womb could eventually be made much more useful for a developing fetus than a mother's womb. The Transhumanist Party gets a mention too, as we support development and funding for this type of technology. http://www.nationalreview.com/human-e...

Great tweet about my book and a request

I was excited yesterday to receive a positive endorsement tweet about my novel The Transhumanist Wager from Abstract Thoughts, who has 120,000 followers on twitter. I haven't mentioned this, but in 2014 my novel tripled in sales/downloads. I was also honored to find out that the book recently surpassed Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity Is Near in reviews on Amazon, though I'm sure his classic has more overall sales. Even though I'm not actively pushing my novel at this moment since I'm now active in politics, one thing I wanted to ask anyone reading this, if you have a moment, is to go to my novel's Amazon page and vote "NO" (that review wasn't helpful) to that terrible 1-star review prominently leading the reviews. Haters or bots have pushed that review to the very top. It's the very first review (so everyone sees it) and is titled: "So bad it makes me hate transhumanism." If there's enough "NO" votes that awful review will disappear and only the good reviews will remain, which outnumber the bad reviews 5 to 1 overall. Thanks and here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Transhumanist-W...
