Well I think eugenics messes up natural selection in a way that what you create will not be suited for its environment unless you have cosmically perfect knowledge of everything. However, this idea of artificial evolution being the next step gives me some interesting thoughts. I picture the iconic image of the "Alien being" that is always described (lithe, grey, sexless, faceless, cold, neutral, frail) and I think that describes a being totally dependant on technology and completely without natural enemies. Sounds like where we could be heading if we succeed (we will) in creating our own version of the universe from the information we have built around us.
