I wonder how this ties into Lewis’ belief that genetic engineering would dehumanise both the genetic engineers and the genetically engineered (“nor are their subjects necessarily unhappy men. They are not men at all: they are artefacts. Man’s final conquest has proved to be the abolition of Man’”).
