[Brain Death Resources] Brain Death and Technological Change: Personal Identity, Neural Prostheses and Uploading James J. Hughes Prepared for the Second International Symposium on Brain Death Second International Symposium on Brain Death Havana Cuba * February 27-March 1, 1995 Contents Abstract Introduction Social Death: Operationalizing the Death Concept Technological Change, and Changes in Social Death ... Bibliography Abstract The death at issue in the brain death debate is not an empiric reality, but a social category, "social death." It is a question of which bodies we are comfortable using and disposing of in certain ways, and not comfortable giving medicine or food as if they were "alive." Until recently both mind and body stopped functioning at the same time, and this "death" and "social death" were generally seen as one phenomenon. There were important exceptions, however, in many cultures where particular diseases and disabilities earned a social death definition before the physical death had occurred. Introduction For everyday purposes we know and can say whether an animal is alive or not. But upon closer inquiry, we find that this is, in many cases, a very complex question, as the jurists know very well. They have cudgeled their brains in vain to discover a rational limit beyond which the killing of the child in its mother's womb is murder. It is just as impossible to determine absolutely the moment of death, for physiology proves that death is an not instantaneous, momentary phenomenon, but a very protracted process. (Engels,1880

Many claim that these are the moments that make life worth living, or at least a lot of what life is about. It's that moment where you finish writing a book, get a big promotion, or share an intimate moment with someone special. How many "typical" days would you give for a single moment like that? Michael Anissimov BIOTECHNOLOGY Preimplantation Genetic Diagnostics, The Future of Designer Kids Ideas of the perfect human have been around a long time. From Tao to Nietsche and Galton, many great minds have described certain desirable and non-desirable qualities of man. Recent scientific discoveries within the field of human genetics and reproductive technologies have revitalized many timeless thoughts about human perfection. The Plausible Futures Newsletter - SPRING 2004 TRANSHUMANISM The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant Once upon a time, the planet was tyrannized by a giant dragon. The dragon stood taller than the largest cathedral, and it was covered with thick black scales. Its red eyes glowed with hate, and from its terrible jaws flowed an incessant stream of evil-smelling yellowish-green slime. It demanded from humankind a blood-curdling tribute: to satisfy its enormous appetite, ten thousand men and women had to be delivered every evening at the onset of dark to the foot of the mountain where the dragon-tyrant lived. Sometimes the dragon would devour these unfortunate souls upon arrival; sometimes again it would lock them up in the mountain where they would wither away for months or years before eventually being consumed.

I n this C&EN exclusive "Point-Counterpoint," two of nanotechnology's biggest advocates square off on a fundamental question that will dramatically affect the future development of this field. Are "molecular assemblers"devices capable of positioning atoms and molecules for precisely defined reactions in almost any environmentphysically possible? In his landmark 1986 book, " Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology ," K. Eric Drexler envisioned a world utterly transformed by such assemblers. They would be able to build anything with absolute precision and no pollution. They would confer something approaching immortality. They would enable the colonization of the solar system.

The Alivisatos Group is a research group at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laborartory. Our work is in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, studying materials with sizes on the order of one billionth of a meter (one nanometer). When material dimensions reach the nanometer scale, quantum mechanical and thermodynamic properties that are insignificant in larger, everyday materials dominate, causing these nanomaterials to display new and interesting properties. Our work seeks to understand these properties and exploit them for technological applications.

Built to mass-produce automobiles more efficiently, the Rouge housed the equipment for developing each phase of a car, including blast furnaces , a steel mill and a glass plant. More than 90 miles of railroad track and conveyor belts kept Ford's car assembly line running. The Rouge model was lauded as the most efficient method of production at a time when bigger meant better. Nanogears like these may replace current manufacturing processes.
