The quote said by C. S. Lewis on "The Abolition of Man" was quite interesting because I thought it foreshadowed our future quite interestingly. Due to our massive technological advancement done today, we are able to create things that were thought almost impossible a century before. For instance, Dolly, a first mammal that was cloned successfully, is a good example of this. Lewis probably wanted to say that in the near future, our technology might exceed our limit, causing a severe problem within the humans. Currently, we have debate over whether or not we should create or enhance another living organism because that is a same thing as us usurping the role of God. However, if this sense of ethics is overwhelmed, then there is nothing that keeps us from creating or enhancing another organism. This is what Lewis refer to as "The battle is indeed be won". But, if nothing keeps us from enhancing another organism, then many problems would likely to occur. Like for example, people would test on many other species on whether the new technology on enhancement works or not because our sense of ethics is already overwhelmed. These problems would bring chaos to our future society and what it was referred to as "The Hell scenario" in "Radical Evolution" would most likely to happen. That is what Lewis meant when he said that who is the winner over all, because the technology that is suppose to make us happy is making us unfortunate and we don't know who is getting the benefit from such a situation.
