520    "Never before in the history of medicine has mankind faced
       such hope and peril as those of us poised to embrace the 
       radical medical technologies of today. Beyond Human 
       examines the medical technologies taking shape at the 
       nexus of computing, microelectronics, engineering, 
       nanotechnology, cellular and gene therapies, and robotics.
       These technologies will dramatically transform our lives 
       and allow us to live for hundreds of years. Yet, with 
       these blessings come complicated practical and ethical 
       issues, some of which we can predict, but many we cannot. 
       Beyond Human taps the minds of doctors, scientists, and 
       engineers engaged in developing a host of new technologies
       while telling the stories of some of the patients 
       courageously testing the radical new treatments about to 
       come into the market. Beyond Human asks the difficult 
       questions of the scientists and bioethicists who seek to 
       ensure that as our bodies and brains become ever more 
       artificial, we hold onto our humanity. In this new world, 
       will everyone have access to technological miracles, or 
       will we end up living in a world of radical disparities? 
       How will society accommodate life spans that extend into 
       hundreds of years? Will we and our descendants be able to 
       bring about the dream of a future liberated by technology,
       or will we end up merely serving the machines and devices 
       that keep us healthy, smart, young, and alive? "--
