Enhancement (Problem 1)
For Body Enhancement in particular, we recommend
that coaches preview all material before
passing it on to students. Some material
may not be suitable for Primary juniors
and links may lead to inappropriate sites.
Traditional
Maori Moko
All New Zealanders are familiar
with the traditional moko. It appears in
our carvings, our art, and it is recognised
internationally as something distinctively
and uniquely New Zealand. Maori have traditionally
worn the moko as an inherent part of their
culture, and it is worn by many today.
Moko
Research
In this article the wearers
of moko are speaking for themselves, about
themselves, and commenting on how others
view them.
Ta
moko resurgence
Ta moko has undergone a quiet
resurgence over the last decade, with increasing
numbers of Mäori seeking traditional
moko and more practitioners performing the
art.
Institue
of Ethics and Emerging Technologies
A primary objection to new
methods of enhancement has been the prospect
of increased inequality. What are the distinctions
between modifications that society should
permit, and those that may need to be discouraged.
Physical
Enhancement Research
Most transhumanists want
to modify their bodies in some way. Since
they seek morphological freedom, it is likely
that in a transhuman future the form of
the trans- or post-human body will be extremely
variable and individual, just as our clothing
is today.
Human
Body Modifications
This page is devoted to modifications
of the human body that are mainly surgical,
chemical and genetic. Many of these ideas
are general improvements of bugs or atavisms
in our body, while some are outright changes.
