A Bruxelles, le 10 novembre 2010, dans les bâtiments du Parlement européen aura lieu une conférence ayant pour titre "Making Perfect Life. Bio-engineering in the 21st century".
Comme celle à laquelle j'avais assisté en février 09, elle est organisée par le Rathenau institute (organisme néerlandais) et le STOA (organe européen). Il s'agit pour nous d'avoir une influence sur les institutions européennes en ce qui concerne l'augmentation humaine.
A part Didier, qui en sera ?-)

Présentation :
Living bacteria with artificial DNA, supercomputers designed to function like a real human brain or robots showing human-like emotions. Biology is increasingly engineered in much the same way as technology, while technology is becoming more and more life-like. These two engineering trends not only intensify current debates about the desirability and acceptability of genetic engineering and human enhancement, but also raises novel issues, like who’s in control of machines with a life of their own? The social and political consequences of these two bio-engineering trends are discussed at the conference Making Perfect Life on November 10th 2010 in the European Parliament in Brussels.
