where human natural selection is obsolete and the evolution of our species is completely up to us? If so, is this good or bad?
​
Have you looked at history?
​
Doesn't sound good.
​
Up to us? Who is "us"? Some political leader?
​
Some Nazi of the future?

"Us" would be the human race
​
The human race is divided into political divisions. Some have power, some don't.
​
If I have no power, then there will be people who do not like me because I have bad habits. Obviously I and my breed should be eliminated.
​
This is the "transhuman" idea as far as I can make out.

"transhuman" sounds like the "superman" to me.
​
We are going to produce the best human in the world. We are going to breed ourselves. No more nature.
​
The only alternative to nature is the political.
