The World Tranhumanist Association says it is "for the ethical use of technology to extend human capabilities". It's link is http://www.transhumanism.org/I'm intrigued by this, so I've just joined the Association as a subscriber via their website. As the father of a brain damaged son (result of a car injury that has left him with severe dyspraxia) I'm absolutely interested in what technology can do when it is combined with the human "meat machine". I hope that my son (aged 25) will be around when implanted nano-chips can restore him to what he was. And I'm also pretty interested in seeing how technology can extend MY life or make it better than it was! I've already had an intraocular lens replacement in my left eye that leaves me with better sight (and no need to wear a contact lens) than I've ever had. Best $2,000 (in Bangkok) that I ever spent! What else can be replaced? More on this exciting subject to come.
