Unprecedented developments in bioengineering, biotechnology, and biomedicine—breakthroughs that could improve the lives of people with debilitating diseases and injuries—can also serve as stepping-stones to technologies that can enhance human beings and alter human nature, raising fears about how biotechnologies could be misused.

Is there another option? Join us to discuss the new world of human enhancement technologies and transhumanism—their promises, potential, and pitfalls.
