"Happiness is the only possible good, and all that tends to the happiness of man is right, and is of value. All that tends to develop the bodies and minds of men; all that gives us better houses, better clothes, better food, better pictures, grander music, better heads, better hearts; all that renders us more intellectual and more loving, nearer just; that makes us better husbands and wives, better children, better citizens � all these things combined produce what I call Progress."
-- Robert Green Ingersoll -�The Ghosts� (1877)

Andy Miah to work with Euro-NBIC group

Posted: Jan 2, 2007

IEET Fellow Andy Miah will be consulting for the European Union-funded, multi-institutional Nano-Bio-Raise project the goals of which are to “establish a multi-disciplinary expert working group of scientists, ethicists and social scientists to examine ethical and societal issues relating to nanobiotechnology and its converging technologies.”

In December Andy spoke on “Genetic Tests for Performance” at The Hastings Center in New York, and on “Human Enhancement & the Bioethics of Cultural Studies” at Loughborough University. Andy will be speaking on “The Challenge from Posthumanity” at the annual conference of the Australian Sports Commission, Brisbane, March, 2007.

Andy will be lecturing at the Royal College of Art on ‘Posthuman Designs’ for their ‘Design Interactions’ Masters programme, which is interested in provoking public debate about the ethics of new technologies through the construction of prototypes.

Andy also just published (with E. Rich) “Genetic Tests for Ability? Talent Identification and the Value of an Open Future,” in Sport, Education and Society, 2006, 11(3), pp.259-273.

Andy is exemplary for maintaining an attractive and dynamic website, where you can follow his recent recent press and recent appearances.
