My new article for Motherboard. My dad has had a few major heart attacks, so this is a meaningful story to me. I'm hopeful that in the near future getting artificial hearts will become rather common, even for the healthy.
My new article for Motherboard. My dad has had a few major heart attacks, so this is a meaningful story to me. I'm hopeful that in the near future getting artificial hearts will become rather common, even for the healthy. But some issues, like the possible hacking of robotic hearts, will have to be overcome. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/era-...

Last ectogenesis story for a while, as I have a bunch of new things coming out this week. I was in China Daily last week, a site quite a bit larger than the The New York Times or The Guardian:

I discovered this today. This is terrible anti-transhumanist and anti-science propaganda, but it's worth considering briefly just to see how opponents operate and why they are dangerous.

I'm in the print edition of the National Review, widely considered the most influential conservative publication
A new article about transhumanism is out in the print edition of the National Review, widely considered the most influential conservative magazine. It explores the future of parenthood and technology--and specifically what the Transhumanist Age is. The story ends using the word "transhumanphobic." The article bashes transhumanism but it's nice to see it being discussed in such a prominent print publication, one which many politicians read. https://m.nationalreview.com/nrd/arti...

I was just updating my Transhumanist Wager website and I came across this as one of my few sort of transhumanist articles for National Geographic. It's interesting to read now and consider how far flight (especially drone use) has come in a decade:
