Inventing Our Evolution

The surge of innovation that has given the world everything from iPods to talking cars is now turning inward, to our own minds and bodies.... We are transforming our minds, our memories, our metabolisms, our personalities and our progeny. Serious people, including some at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, consider such modification of what it means to be human to be a radical evolution -- one that we direct ourselves. They expect it to be in full flower in the next 10 to 20 years.
