Young \nand old alike believe that the human experience could gain something if \nbetter informed about up-coming technologies. Learning about them at an \nearly stage helps in making key decisions\n about one's personal future. Although the approach is somewhat \nindividual and devoted to those concerned\, collectively oriented health \nand entertainment will gain from observing individual practices in the \nmatter.
\nGovernment\n policy incorporating emergent technology progress through monitoring \nwill renew itself in a relevant way. However\, in the name of progress \npeople are increasingly willing to accept\n risk\; the possible downfall of this movement is its ability to promote \ntaking risks. But then again\, could we or would we want to stop it? If \nwe are to enhance the human experience\, the pros and cons of each \nsituation must be considered. Modifying or augmenting\n humans surely raises a certain number of issues. What are they? What \naspect of life should one proceed to enhance? Which sectors or issues \nshould become priority elements? Which academic disciplines are involved\n and why? What limits technological change? Does\n one have an acceptance threshold? If so\, how would one express it? \; What are the long term implications of enhancement? Establishing a \ntopology of possible applications and their contexts would be desirable \nfor this symposium on enhancing members of our society.
