Posted: Jun 6, 2006

George Dvorsky writes: In addition to my own, here are some reviews (both positive and negative) of the recent Human Enhancement Technologies Human Rights conference:

Brian Alexander of MSNBC: Is there a human right to be superhuman? Special powers aren’t just for comic-book characters, some ethicists argue

Ronald Bailey of Reason: The Right to Human Enhancement: And also uplifting animals and the rapture of the nerds

William Saletan of Slate: Among the Transhumanists: Cyborgs, self-mutilators, and the future of our race

Dale Carrico’s retort to Saletan: With Enemies Like Saletan Who Needs Friends?

Anders Sandberg: On the Enhancement Rights Track

Wesley Smith: Transhumanism Conference

And last but not least, Nydra’s detailed account of the conference:
Introduction, Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, & Part V.
