Big Questions About the Human Being - Episode 4 | What is the Future of Humankind? Are we and should we be changing our bodies and brains?
In this installment of Big Questions About the Human Being: Bioscience and Islam in Dialogue, Dr. Aasim Padela builds on the previous discussion of what makes us human by exploring the future of the human body in the age of biotechnology and technological enhancement. From contemporary medical implants to futuristic visions of fully synthetic bodies, we reflect on how bodily changes influence thoughts about our identity, our society, and our future. And through a case discussion, the episode touches upon controversies around the moral limits of medical practice.
Themes in this episode include:
● Reflections on science fiction and its parallels with real-world technology
● Current medical devices that integrate with the human body
● Ethical and social implications of body augmentation
● Islamic perspectives on technological enhancements
● A practical case study bringing these issues into focus
