Gebraucht - Sehr gut - ungelesen,als Mängelexemplar gekennzeichnet, mit leichten Mängeln an Schnitt oder Einband durch Lager- oder Transportschaden -This book surveys the distinctions that underlie the unbound potential and existential risks of life expansion and radical modifications posed by a transhuman world. Humanness is in flux as human bodies are being hacked and altered in their quest for super wellness, super intelligence and super longevity. Now is the time to discuss how best to think about dealing with bodies that have been hacked to exceed natural physical limits or more technically, species typical functioning. Enter the advent of transhumanism to take uncertainty by the horns. According to transhumanists, death is unnecessary and medical conventions undermine the possibility to radically evolve. To biohackers, there is no need to wait to explore the risks that conventional medicine dares not. This book is of interest to anyone interested in tapping into this growing movement of modifying the human body as it is right now.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 255 pp. Englisch.…

About the Author
Dr. Emma Tumilty is feminist bioethicist and Assistant Professor& Associate Director of Graduate Studies in the Institute for Bioethics and Health Humanities at the University of Texas Medical Branch. Her interests include research ethics, translational medicine, and innovation, as well as health justice and access.

Her interest in transhumanism is focused on those seeking to disrupt the status quo with human+technology exploration – the crip technoscience writers, feminist technomaterialists, afrofuturists, etc. who imagine different communities, morphological freedoms, and futures facilitated by technological integration. She is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Empirical Research in Human Subjects Research and the journal: Progress in Community Health Partnerships, as well as the BookReview Editor for the International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics. She has published widely in research ethics, bioethics generally, and health service research.
