Posthuman designsBy Andy Miah
This paper explores the ethics of human enhancement by considering various manifestations of design. It argues that designart enters the biopolitical sphere, thus reconstituting the parameters of moral debates on human enhancements. Drawing on a wide variety of aesthetic forms that engage ethical concerns about such modifications, the paper considers the substantive ethical arguments that are articulated through such artifacts.

Bob Dylan: We’re different. We come from two different worlds. You come from England; I come from the United States.
Interviewer: That’s true, that’s true, but we’re still human beings, so there’s some sort of connection between us.
