For the past three years, I’ve been working on a grant from the National Science Foundation with my colleagues Pat Lin, John Weckert, and Jim Moor.  The topic was ethical issues in nanotechnology and human enhancement, and we were trying to figure out how nanotechnology will come to bear on human enhancement and what the associative ethical issues are therein.  It’s been a great project and we’re very grateful to the NSF for their support.  The final report has just been published, and feedback is very welcome; we also put out a press release.  Also, see some of the other things we’re doing on the ethics of human enhancement.

Update:  Science and Engineering Ethics has just published an executive summary of the NSF report.

Update:  Studies in Ethics, Law, and Society has just published the entire report.  Please cite to this version.
