Using what you have learned in this course so far, and in conversation with the bio-tech wizards at SU, discuss what you think it means to be human. We are entering an unprecedented area of human existence, when much of what we have assumed about life is being challenged. How can the philosophy that you have learned about this semester help you make sense of this 'brave new world'?
Some questions to consider (you do not have to address all of them in your response - remember I am looking for you to use what you have learned to show "what it means to be human."
Should we accept the bio-tech wizards' view of humanity without first coming to a solid understanding of what it means to be human?
Should humans be morphed into machines?
Who will control the technology that will literally be us?
Will they not have too much control?
Is this an attempt by humans to be that thing many choose not to believe in: god?
