As a transhumanist, I'm fine with this. It's clear that a lot of people would physically transform themselves into whatever illusion FaceApp provides today.

I certainly would.

I know this is being perceived as "fraud" right now, but the same people who were attracted to that person and now feel betrayed are overdue for some well-deserved self reflection.

It's hard to make an argument that the world would be worse off if everyone could just have the body they want. Regrettably, I was born too late to live to see it become reality.



It would make for a far better world:

Older men chasing younger woman and replacing their previous wives? Completely unnecessary.

Child sex crimes? Someone can just morph into a child and hook up with someone with the same interest.

Unattractive but a good personality / similar interests? Not a problem.

Trans? Just morph into a woman / man.
