6 pages in length. A farmer in 1890's Iowa tilling his soil to prepare for next season's crops would no more understand the concept of or need for human modification and enhancement than he would the idea of cosmetic surgery or heart transplants. For him, simplicity was the mantra for his entire existence; as he aged, he expected to wrinkle; if he severed an arm, he would readapt his life to living without it; when the time came for his life to end, he would succumb to the final episode without grasping for scientific preservation. Indeed, the change in attitude that has accompanied the technological explosion clearly illustrates how people now cling to and bring about life by way of simulated processes that pose a whole host of ethical concerns with the direction humanity is headed in relation to human modification and enhancement. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
