However you make an interesting point about how the tadpole transformation is a natural occurance, unlike a transhumanism approach which is man made.

The title is as intriguing as the question you posed about. Like human growth, the change from tadpole to frog is natural. The transformation to frog stage though is more abrupt: growing limbs, development of lungs, and then migration from water to land. I’d really like to know more about the title choice.
