- You Say You Want an Evolution? Prifrock Among the Laptops
- Description
- Eric (Rick) Sorenson, Jr. discusses the human quest for an extended life or immortality. After reviewing articles on extending human life, Sorenson focuses on transhumanism and its emphasis on non-biological evolution and the merger of man and machine. Sorenson explores genetic engineering; nanotechnology; cellular repair; robotics; timing; and a new body-hardware Take II. Critics focus on both the feasibility and their moral objections to transhumanism. Sorenson concludes by sharing his own views on transhumanism.
