WHERE businesses resist ethical statutes limiting gateways into the wide fields of bio-sciences – there our societal battles will persist until resolved by laws.  Ethical accountability seems to be a wait-and-see movement when trying to keep AI and genetics from pushing us over the edge.  And, we must have one or the other – laws and ethics or accept digital predestination. Predestination is biblical; Charles Darwin's evolution theory is theory.
​Accepting d
igital predestination would then easily pinpoint time of discovery of physical, electrical and mechanical properties in computer system's logic. All discoveries are recent, not ancient time. Having progressed to the moment when creating a biological-digital human being seems likely, today, such pre-futurists-technologists assume their status as “creator”. Their imaginations, however, may be evolving faster than what biological bodies can adapt to and ethical laws be written to constrain. Yet, if the tech prophets can put the burden of unrealized, yet unknown human-like creations on the artificial intelligence technology - then their societal dilemma is resolved. So, the questions of our time have become,

> Were we destined to create a part human - part digital species?
> Will digital predestination, like our genomes, truly express a new nature from created human life?


As I have elaborated, the Prophetic Backbone will be a network specially constructed to manage & control digitalized, artificial beings – part human part silicon, having synthetically re-designed genomes. We'll have to decide if Melvin Kranzberg was correct when he wrote his First Law of Technology, 'technology is neither good nor bad, nor is it neutral'.  This time, it's different.
