Humans should be made into Autotrophs

-'Not sarcasm'*sarcasm*"For starters, Humans cannot become autotrophs. " ? Very interesting point you have here, to bad its wrong. Human:1. of, pertaining to, characteristic of, or having the nature of people: human frailty. 2. consisting of people: the human race. 3. of or pertaining to the social aspect of people: human affairs. 4. sympathetic; humane: a warmly human understanding. Human Being:1. any individual of the genus Homo, especially a member of the species Homo sapiens. 2. a person, especially as distinguished from other animals or asrepresenting the human species: living conditions not fit forhuman beings; a very generous human being. Genus:1. Biology . the usual major subdivision of a family or subfamilyin the classification of organisms, usually consisting of morethan one species. . http://dictionary.reference.com... Since Homo sapiens is just a species in the homo genus, if a new SPECIES of human arised that was autotrophs it would just mean there are two species in the genus of Homo. . http://www.wired.com...There is another error, this is humans being made into autotrophs. That doesn't necessarily mean they will be what they were! !! Made:give certain properties to something;produced by making, preparing, etc. , in a particular way(often used in combination): well-made garments. Into:Expressing a change of state So, I don't care if humans can't BE autotrophs, I only care if they can be made into autotrophs I don't care if they are STILL human afterwards. As you can see, I already acknowledge your first point anyway:"Human beings would possibly be a new life form/species or not humans at all! " - Arrogantly quoting myself! "So then humans would suffer needlessly under a horrible, cruel, and terrible reign of some alternate species that will dominate them. "Actually, if there were any "humans" left then they would probably just be out numbered, depending on the scale the new humans dominated. To be honest, that's a completely fatuous theory for the scenario at hand. The only difference from the new "humans" and the old would be how they obtain their energy necessary for subsisting. If anything they would be pitied or seen as inferior, it would not necessarily be cruel. "Human beings would become a different species, which would be bad for humans. That is not a benefit. "I object! !You see, it would be a benefit for the humans that became a new species! And the other humans would probably have more food resources since there would be less "humans" to use it. "Killing other organisms is not an issue"So what? Also I feel like that is just your opinion. "The dependency would simply transfer to natural inorganic substances"Yes, a more abundant resource. "There's enough food to end world hunger right now. There's nothing to prove that sunlight and inorganic chemicals wouldn't be unequally distributed as food is now. "Wait, so are you implying people will unequally distribute the sun and easily accessible chemicals from the hungry? "Actually, there would probably be more pollution to keep levels of CO2 high enough to use"I don't know, CO2 is not the only inorganic substance, and it might not be a healthy diet. "But then we would be in direct competition with other autotrophs, and the trees would probably get fed up with us and kill us all"The other heterotrophs aren't getting fed up with, or at least killing us out. And the other autotrophs are doing fine. I just think we would start thinking plants are cute and cuddly and start rooting them on leashes. "This already is[sic]"go on. .. "I am flabbergasted that my opponent thinks becoming autotrophic is even a possibility. He has shown no evidence in favor of it being possible. "Well, we could genetically engineer ourselves to have plastid genes in our dna or to naturally obtain plastids and pass them on genetically. . http://hiddenunseen.blogspot.com...This is could be possible with genetic engineering techniques on human zygotes and babies, although it may be a socially catawampus notion. Don't worry baby, I don't bite.
