"I teach you the overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him? "All beings so far have created something beyond themselves; and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is the ape to man? A laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. You have made your way from worm to man, and much in you is still worm. Once you were apes, and even now, too, man is more ape than any ape." — Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Prologue, trans. Walter Kaufmann Weyland says "...the power to transform, to destroy and to create again....What the hell are we supposed to do with this power?' Weyland wants more than immortality, he wants to become something beyond human.

"..Weyland wants more than immortality, he wants to become something beyond human..." And based on discussion at this site David wants something beyond human. Shaw also seeks this beyond human status,,,but not for herself to be godlike..but just to get her questions answered.
