post-evolution or just better healthcare for aging?

Check out this Washington Post graphic overview of new transplantable organs for the aging body. In a post-evolutionary world, nature gives way to intervention and networked bodies. The first step is reconceiving of the body not as a natural housing for the person, but as a temporary vessel to be modified and tampered with as needed to adapt to the environment. This is no longer adaptive mutation, but something far more deliberate and manufactured.
