If you were to design a humanoid, why do you have to place it on planet Earth? We can see the mess life is in today. Why not seek out the best planet in the universe with a ready made eco system, and start from scratch. Space travel is within our grasp, maybe send a thousand to start things off.
There would be no disease, no natural disasters, the humanoid could live pain free, and for any length of time you deem fit.
If you were going to all this effort and expense, you would need to give them a purpose. Would would that purpose be? Would it be to become the best scientists and rational thinkers, or something else? Would they need feelings for each other, or would they just be content with their own intellect? Is a thousand enough, or would they have to continue breeding? If they breed, are they pre conditioned, or could mutations slip into future generations?
What would your relationship be with these humanoids, once they have found their new home. Would they have freedom from you to do as they pleased, or would you want some control over them? And what about the odd faulty humanoids, who rationally thinks they have the power to rule for their own purpose?
Having the knowledge to design and make these humanoids, gives you the power of a god. But your life is limited to a century on Earth. Would it be rational, that if you were to design these humanoids. You would need to become one of the chosen few and abandon mankind.
What about your family and friends, who would you take with you? How much of your own knowledge would you retain, what knowledge would you delete?
