About the Book

"Can we improve the human body? Could we live forever? Is it even right to try these things? What do you think? That's a lot of questions! Where do you start answering them? This book sets out what's what and who's who so that you can make your own informed opinion on how the future might look for humans. Everyone can have an opinion, so what will yours be? Half the fun is working it out!"--Page 4 of cover.

Book Synopsis

What is transhumanism? What is AI? Are these good developments or bad ones? How might immortality be possible? And should we even want to live forever? Get the facts and make up your own mind on these and more questions related to enhanced human potential with Future Humans, part of the new What's the Issue? series.

What does it really mean to be human? In the future, might we be forced to rethink the answer? In this fascinating book, explore these questions through topics like:

Prosthetics and implants
Plastic surgery
Performance drugs
External memory
Genetic modifications
Nanotechnology
Smart drugs (cognitive enhancers)
Cyborgs
Bioprinting

The What's the Issue? series tackles engaging, thought-provoking subjects chosen from the headlines and public debates. What's the Issue? asks "what's all the fuss about?," presents the key facts, reviews what's at stake in each case, and weighs the pros and cons. The goal of the series is to help young people understand difficult concepts, provide them with the tools to inform their own opinions, and help them to see and influence changes within our society.
