The Malleable Human
The Malleable Human
How human are you? What does it mean to be human? From a biological point of view, can lines be drawn that define a human? When is appropriate to blur these lines and who may do it? In this course we will investigate what biological boundaries exist that make us human. We will consider this topic by looking at genetic, mechanical, and chemical modifications to the basic human form and how they influence our perceptions of ‘humanness’. 3 hrs. sem.
