Thats very interesting and thought provoking.. especially the last portion of your comment about women voting themselves out of relevance. Lets say the present trends continue for another couple of decades or so.. at which point your gender and entire genetic make-up can be easy altered.. mankind could theoretically become capable of reproducing as a male or female in the traditional sense. I'm not sure what you would call this.. (bi-sexual? multisexual?) The concept of male and female would cease to exist among humans, at least as we know it. Eventually self reproduction would be possible once altering genetic material becomes a trivial matter. This is all disturbing to think about for now, but is likely inevitable as biotechnology progresses; unless we first achieve the ability to upload our consciousness into the cloud and/or a robotic host.. or unless we embrace nuclear oblivion/some other doomsday senario.
