"In the 2006 CBC Massey Lectures, renowned ethicist Margaret Somerville asked: What does it mean to be human today, when mind-altering scientific breakthroughs are challenging our ideas of ourselves, how we relate to others and the world, and how we find meaning in life? Somerville touches upon controversial topics such as new reproductive technologies, genetic modification, and transhumanism. And she eloquently proposes that it is only by undertaking a journey of the imagination—by heeding our stories, myths, and moral intuition—that we can truly develop an ethics to guide us into the future."--
