Future of Technology

Open Discussion

Future Health

In an era of progress, the question of ethical boundaries regarding the enhancement of human body through genetic engineering and “hardware” implants is becoming increasingly relevant. What changes to human appearance will high-tech manipulations and the latest research bring, and can they improve the quality of life for our descendants? These are the questions to be addressed by experts in this section.

Questions for discussion

How will technological progress be integrated into society and transform it?
What are the prospects for genome editing?
How will new generations transform themselves: through genetic modifications or by “hardware” implants?
Technology for people, not people for technology. Where is the ethical boundary for human transformations?
