Summary

Biomedical research is changing both the format and the functions of human beings. The human race will be faced with a choice: do we join in with the enhancement or not? 'Make Way for the Superhumans' looks at how far this technology has come and what aims and ambitions it has. From robotic implants that restore sight to the blind, to performance enhancing drugs that build muscles, improve concentration, and maintain erections, bio-enhancement has already made massive advances. Humans have already developed the technology to transmit thoughts and actions using only a computer interface. By the time our grandchildren are born, they will be presented with the option to significantly alter and redesign their bodies. This book poses the questions that need answering now: suggesting real, practical ways of dealing with this technology before it reaches a point where it can no longer be controlled.
