Although we're no strangers to the phrase "better living through chemistry," our take on it is probably a little different than the approach offered in Authenticity and Ambivalence: The Debate About Using Medical Technologies to "Enhance" Human Beings. As part of The University of Texas at Dallas' Public Forum series, speaker Erik Parens (from The Hastings Center, a bioethics research institute) will give a talk examining "transhumanism," the idea that technology can enable us to more fully become who we really are. Things get complicated 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in room 1.102 of the UTD Conference Center, 800 W. Campbell Road in Richardson. Call 972-883-2787 or visit ah.utdallas.edu.
