    Human nature will probably be improved by Transhumanism. Still, it is likely that a person, over time, improves their agency, making them a better citizen and human being. Remember most crime is committed by the young. Also, over time a person would accumulate enough capital to make them bonded to behavior responsibly.

    Reverse Aging is something many people would hope to see in their lifetime.
