Is our identity fully determined by DNA? Or are we are not just biological automats? Do we have some spiritual freedom and so on?…I think if we are just our DNA. If the interaction of our DNA with environment determines us completely, then yes we should worry. But in a way, we just discovered that we never were free. We were automats [machines] also now but we did not know it. Our freedom was an illusion… So are we automats which just can be controlled or is there hope for our freedom? …We are effectively entering some kind of post human universe where everything, our inner most identity can be reduced to a formula. …What I’m afraid of is a possibility of a direct contact-link between our brain, what we are thinking, and a computer network, because there we lose our autonomy.
