Nick Bostrom: In Defense of Posthuman Dignity
Nick Bostrom: In Defense of Posthuman Dignity. Bioethics, Vol. 19, No. 3, pp. 202-214. Available from http://www.nickbostrom.com/ethics/dignity.html.(“Positions on the ethics of human enhancement technologies can be (crudely) characterized as ranging from transhumanism to bioconservatism. Transhumanists believe that human enhancement technologies should be made widely available, that individuals should have broad discretion over which of these technologies to apply to themselves, and that parents should normally have the right to choose enhancements for their children-to-be.”)
