well in all honesty its actually two emails subjects photoshopped togetheri misread my emails and got excited :)
the superhuman bit is actually a lecture thats being given at my uni next month. i've got tickets, it promises to be really interesting
What links model Katie Price (Jordan), Cybermen, Viagra, King Louie, and the Nazis? If you want to know the answer and more, attend this lecture. Medical engineering and other emerging technologies can now
achieve far more than simply alleviation of pain and restoration of function. Human beings can become everything we have ever aspired to be and more. 'Converging technologies' have brought us to the point where our species can indeed become superhuman. The presentation will review the current state-of-the-art with respect to converging technologies (in engineering, science, medicine and dentistry), and evaluate the potential impact on the individual and society. These subjects will inevitably raise questions regarding what it is to be human, and should society now use the opportunities presented by modern technology to create the first generation of superhumans?
