"Human Enhancement Technologies and Human Rights"

Submit proposals via e-mail by January 1, 2006 to director_at_ieet.org

Sponsored by the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, the Center for
Cognitive Liberty and Ethics, and the Stanford Center for Law and the Biosciences
   
Much of the criticism of enhancement technologies has focused on the
