Disambiguation page may be necessary

[edit]

The following discussion was moved from the Directed evolution page.

Some bioethicist use the term directed evolution or self-directed evolution like a synonym to human genetic engineering. Geneticist use the term to describe a laboratory procedure. I recommend keeping the two different uses of the term on the same article for now, but if the article grows it may need a disambiguation page. Misscosmo (talk) 03:54, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the terminology heads-up. Would it be possible for you to expand the section that you added to the article? A summary, or set of examples would be useful, otherwise it ends up looking like a group of bombastic quotes. T. Shafee (Evo&Evo) (talk) 04:22, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Directed evolution as a bioethics term

Transhumanism is sometimes described as directed evolution. The suggestion that the transhumanist project is evolutionary is problematic because the enhancements countenanced by transhumanism do not track the models and processes of evolution. A significant example of this disconnect is that evolution, on most theoretical accounts, is a- teleological and transhumanism is wholly teleological.

Directed evolution as a laboratory term are much more numerous
