Editing Raël (section)

==Promoted technologies==
Raël believes humanity is slowly transitioning into a society where humans will not need to work or have jobs. This is due to human technological advancement and because humans "are not made to work". He has stated that work is for machines, whereas humans are made to create, think, and enrich themselves.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5nEuWVU07I Rael talks about the messages of the Elohim (1/2)].

Much of Raël's advocacy concerning futuristic technology is described in his 2001 book, ''Yes to Human Cloning''. He supported [[human genetic engineering]] in order to avoid genetically inherited diseases and to reduce the economic burden on society. He said that no distinctive emphasis needed to be allocated to a particular race or religion.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rael.org/int/press_site/english/pages/press_conference/050202.html |title=Raël's press conference in London |access-date=14 September 2017 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030212220704/http://www.rael.org/int/press_site/english/pages/press_conference/050202.html |archive-date=12 February 2003 }}, ''Raël Press File''. 5 February 2002.
