A discussion about the ethics of medical and technological changes to the self, both real and imagined. What we do want to become? and why?
Dr Shoaib Malik (University of Edinburgh) is in conversation with Dr Ed Tulloch about robotics, transhumanism and all the changes we might think we want to make to ourselves. Dr Lois McFarland (University of Edinburgh) brings the imagination and fictional selves into the conversation. Join in these participatory sessions!

This event is organised by The Albertus Institute, an Edinburgh-based forum promoting public discussion of topical issues.
