DESCRIPTION:With the rapid development of AI and biotechnologies (includin
 g those relating to germline gene editing\, brain-computer Interfaces\, li
 fe extension \, etc.) come vast powers to reshape ourselves and the natura
 l world. As technological advances grant us new powers\, so do they blur s
 ome boundaries between humans\, animals\, and machines\, prodding us to as
 k the question: what does it mean to be human? \n \nDrawing upon readings 
 in the humanities and the sciences\, this group will attempt to bridge the
  existential and empirical study of human identity - and within that conte
 xt\, ask if and how such reflections might help chart a path forward in re
 lation to the right uses of new and potent technologies.  \n \nThe reading
  group is open to students at all levels of study (including medical stude
 nts)\, as well as faculty. \n \nPlease contact Andrew Moeller if you are i
 nterested in joining: andrew.moeller@history.ox.ac.uk \n \nDates and Time:
  5:30 pm\, 22 October and 19 November. \n \nPizza and drinks will be serve
 d. \n \n\nSpeakers:\nVarious Speakers
