These interventions are altering our most fundamental personal and social relations while posing challenges to our traditional sense of the meaning and purpose of human life. In this presentation, we will discuss embryonic interventions, cognitive enhancement and anti-aging technologies, and seek spiritual principles that can align and guide our new powers with both wisdom and compassion.
