Posthuman designs By Andy Miah This paper explores the ethics of human enhancement by considering various manifestations of design. It argues that designart enters the biopolitical sphere, thus reconstituting the parameters of moral debates on human enhancements. Drawing on a wide variety of aesthetic forms that engage ethical concerns about such modifications, the paper considers the substantive ethical arguments that are articulated through such artifacts.

Better than well-being: Education beyond transhumanism. D. Lewin, A. Edwards Liverpool Hope University ABSTRACT Much has been said about the different conceptions of well-being that educatorslook towards. In this paper we consider how transhumanists attempt to think beyond well-being. Our purpose here is not to suggest that we have arrived at a meaning of being or well-being and that it is now time move on towards a transhuman future.On the contrary, the transhuman vision beyond the present tells us more, we argue,about the limitations of our understanding of the depth of well-being. What might seem like rather fantastical models of the goal of education are not as distant asthey seem; the practical implications of modern technology increasingly require usto face the projection of humanity in our own image. It is argued that a theological conception of human nature will provide insight into transcendence that transhumanism does not consider.

Week 1 Journal A myth is a story that embodies a particular conception of the human condition. In the Odyssey , life is represented as a journey. Mythology scholar Joseph Campbell thought all myths followed a similar journey, which he believed symbolically expressed deep truths about human psychology. For Campbell myths are a way we learn to be human and to deal with the ordinary challenges of life and society. For more about Campbell’s theory, see Matthew Winkler’s animated video “ What makes a hero? (Links to an external site.) ” in this week’s Recommended Multimedia Resources. This journal assignment explores the relevance of the literary texts we are reading to our own lives. This week, as we read the about the journey of Odysseus, we might consider our own journeys. In two to three pages, describe one obstacle that Odysseus meets in his journey. What is the obstacle and how does he overcome it? Making connections to your own life, discuss a situation when you faced and overcame an obstacle in one of your own journeys that came between you and your destination. You may interpret this journey symbolically, for example, a journey to yourself (your own personal identity), back to your family or heritage, or one to follow a dream. In keeping within the three page limit, be sure to focus on essential points in both your journey and that of Odysseus. Required Resources Reading Homer. (n.d.). The Odyssey (Links to an external site.) abridged (I. Johnston, Trans.). Retrieved from http://records.viu.ca/~johnstoi/homer/abridgedodysseyweb.htm This is the core text for this week.

Insert Surname Here 1. Name: College: Course: Tutor: Date: Stem Cell Research Article Reflection This paper is a critique and reflection of the article on stem cell research by John F. Killer. The main arguments of the article stress on the future implications of stem cell research in the society. Consequently, the author successfully brings out ethical and social issues relating to treatment of diseases using stem cells. The author achieves the intended objective of the article by proving the social issues when dealing with stems cells. On the same token, he compares the interests of the minority who are vulnerable with the other members of the society. The social issue attributed to stem cell research is defined by the loss of life during treatment. The author supports impartiality by arguing that diseases treated using stem cells will continue to exist; therefore, man should not destroy another human life in the name of finding a cure for another infection (Kilner 467). This shows that this article is centered on the social and ethical controversies surrounding stem cell research. The author of the article sees a balance between human determination and freedom. John F. Killer illustrates the United Nations declaration of Human rights by stating that every human has dignity to live and should be accorded with freedom to enjoy their own life.He also argues that inclusive ethics in human society entails providing individual attention even to the precise vulnerable and weak members of the society. He provides the support of Christian ethics as the fundamental of human life. Moreover, the author of the article perceives people as totally free and conditioned by heredity. He draws from community rights and historical reflection of the previous societies. The author’s position on stem cell research is that it destroys humanity among people of the same community. In the article, ethics is perceived as a beneficial pillar of the society, which enhances cohesion in any community. Participating in preservation of life campaign is thus seen as one of the principles things which man should endeavor in the society (Kilner 646). In order to convince the audience on the ethical issues concerning stem cell research, the author uses several sources. Firstly, the author draws from Christian ethics, which are governed under the biblical principles. According to the bible it, is unethical and inhuman to destroy human life in the quest of achieving a certain objective. The author argues that God is the sole giver of life and every human being should have respect for one another. During the derivation of the stem cells many of the embryos are killed in the course. However, according to studies no clear definition has been given as to the beginning of life. Arguably, the embryos have the potential to bear life. The main social concern being brought up is that life is prevented from taking its course at its initial stages during the research(Citation)!.

The integration landscape is changing rapidly with the introduction of technologies like GraphQL, gRPC, stream processing, iPaaS, and platformless. However, not all existing applications and industries can keep up with these new technologies. Certain industries, like manufacturing, logistics, and finance, still rely on well-established EDI-based message formats. Some applications use XML or CSV with file-based communications, while others have strict on premises deployment requirements. This talk focuses on how Ballerina's built-in integration capabilities can bridge the gap between "old" and "new" technologies, modernizing enterprise applications without disrupting business operations.
