Enhancing Me: The Hope and the Hype of Human Enhancement
If you could download your mind onto a computer, would it 'become' you?
If you could live forever, would you want to?
Meet Dr Pete Moore, ethicist, science communicator and author of more than a dozen popular science books. His latest work, Enhancing Me, examines the ways in which technology can change our bodies, our brains, our emotions and our longevity. It lets readers meet peole who claim to have been enhanced to find out what it is like and how beneficial it is; and introduces them to scientific experts and enhancement enthusiasts.
Join us with Dr Moore for a discussion on these topics and more. Dr Moore will introduce some of his ideas, then take questions: if you would like to discuss the issues or send questions in advance, please feel free to do so at our Second Life forum on Nature Network.
