More than Human

Developments in medicine, particularly in genetics, nano and brain science are considered by many to be dangerous, upsetting evolution. I take a very different premise that rather than fearing change, we ought to embrace it, that rather than prohibiting these technologies, society ought to focus on spreading the power to alter our own minds and bodies to as many people as possible; that rather than imposing a rigid view of what it means to be human on humanity, we ought to trust billions of individuals and families to make that decision for themselves.
