Description: The timeless human desire to be more beautiful, intelligent, healthy, athletic or young has given rise in our time to technologies of human enhancement. Some condemn these developments as a new kind of cheating - not just in sports but in life itself - promising rewards without effort and depriving us most of all of what it means to be authentic human beings. "Transhumanists," on the other hand, reject what they see as a rationalising of human limits, as if being human means being content forever with underachieving bodies and brains. To be human, they insist, is to be restless with possibilities, always eager to transcend biological limits.
