Abstract

What would you change about yourself if you could? If you could design and build a feature and add it to yourself, what would it be? Would you design something that makes you better at something you’re not very good at? Maybe you love music, but haven’t ever been very good at singing. If you could buy a piece of technology that would allow you to be able to sing well, would you? Or might you further improve on a skill you’re already good at? What if you could design a chip that would make you able to do extraordinarily difficult calculations and statistical modeling in your head? Would you? Or might you give yourself a skill or ability that is currently outside the range of human ability. What if you could buy a piece of tech that could give you the ability to fly, or access the internet with just a thought? Such approaches raise the potential for completely re-engineering the human body. Would you re-engineer yourself?.
