Transhumanism is breaking out ... TRANSVISION 2003 USA CONFERENCE "The Adaptable Human Body: Transhumanism and Bioethics in the 21st Century" will take place June 27-29, 2003 Yale University, New Haven, CT --- according to the description:

" ...TV03USA is co-sponsored by the Yale Interdisciplinary Bioethics Program's Working Group on Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology and Transhumanism ... Transhumanism is a new approach to bioethics which argues that technology can be used to overcome the limitations of the human body, and that individuals should be allowed to enhance their bodies. This conference will begin the discussion between the transhumanist movement and communities with which transhumanists have rarely been in dialogue: professional bioethicists, anti-technology activists, and critical social theorists of science and technology."

This should be fairly interesting ... the program features some pretty smart folks. I am looking forward to reports on the conference (via Instapundit)

I just noticed a link to The Immortality Institute. Its getting interesting already.
