"In a way, it was completely predictable: futurologist Paul Saffro thinks that wealthy people may involve into an entirely separate species in the future. Advances in nanotechnology and cybernetics mean that we’ll start living much longer (maybe even forever) and diseases and genetic conditions will be stopped before they become a threat to our health. The catch to this brave new world, however, is that only the very wealthy will be able to afford these health advancements. And that means the super-rich will possibly evolve into a crazy cybernetic race of immortals. If they didn’t have to worry about coronary artery disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s – the things that bring the rest of us down – those who can afford the best medical procedures, cybernetic enhancements and bizarre life-lengthening treatments could focus their evolutionary power elsewhere." - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

Interesting... but once the wealthy get it, then everybody will be able to afford it by bits and pieces... - TrafficBug
