Description
The concept of humanity is changing and will continue to change as we develop technologically. Improvements in artificial limbs, the ability to print organs using stem cells, and direct neural interfaces will progress the option to improve on what people are capable of technologically and biologically to the point of raising the question 'what is human?' We must consider this question and its possible answers to know how we as a society may meet these coming changes to many of our base conceptions of identity. This paper addresses the concepts behind some of these changes and how they may impact society.
