Transhumanism and Society: The Social Debate over Human Enhancement
Stephen Lilley
This book is not a tribute or critique of transhumanity, instead it is an introduction to the social debate over enhancing body and mind. I present this controversy as it unfolds in the contest between transhumanists and conservationists. The former are recognized to be the vanguard of scientific utopianism. Their movement has been gaining ground over the past two decades. The conservationists make strange bedfellows, from the religious
right to the secular left, but they push back with an argument to conserve human nature and to ban enhancement technologies.
