Abstract

Francesca Ferrando's book Philosophical Posthumanism concentrates on some of the ethical issues connected with genetic alteration of the human species.  In sympathy with her analysis, this brief article (commentary) elaborates on a parallel topic: the ethical implications of current projects to modify humans and their society with digital emerging technology.
