With rapid advancements in human enhancement technologies, society struggles with many issues, such as definition, effects, participation, regulation, and control. Current and future initiatives in these technologies may not be in the participants’ best interests; therefore, it is imperative for research on humanitarian considerations to be available to those affiliated with this field. Global Issues and Ethical Considerations in Human Enhancement Technologies compiles prestigious research and provides a well-rounded composite of the field’s role in emerging technologies. Addressing both present and future concerns, this publication serves as a valuable reference work for researchers, students, professionals, and practitioners involved in computer science and the humanities, as well as many engaged in a humanities approach to metasystems, new artificial life, and robotics.
Steven John Thompson , PhD, is on faculty at The Johns Hopkins University to teach Introduction to the Digital Age, and at University of Maryland University College to teach Media and Society and Mass Media Law. Steve’s expertise is in study and analysis of Internet technologies as existential phenomena. In 1996, he published pioneering quantitative and qualitative research on Internet addiction. Dr. Thompson’s research focuses on psychosocial, political, and policy effects of global digital media on societies, and he is active internationally as a scholar on topics of digital media literacy, rhetorics, cyber-age freedom of expression and civil liberties, and media iconics, as those dynamics express themselves through cybersemiotics.
