Dielenberg Freelance Neuroscientist, 15 Parry Street, Cooks Hill, NSW, 2300, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-423-057-977 Received: 3 March 2013; in revised form: 23 April 2013 / Accepted: 27 April 2013 / Published: 21 May 2013 Abstract: The hallmark of our species is our ability to hybridize symbolic thinking with behavioral output. We began with the symmetrical hand axe around 1.7 mya and have progressed, slowly at first, then with greater rapidity, to producing increasingly more complex hybridized products. We now live in the age where our drive to hybridize has pushed us to the brink of a neuroscientific revolution, where for the first time we are in a position to willfully alter the brain and hence, our behavior and evolution. Nootropics, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), deep brain stimulation (DBS) and invasive brain mind interface (BMI) technology are allowing humans to treat previously inaccessible diseases as well as open up potential vistas for cognitive enhancement. In the future, the possibility exists for humans to hybridize with BMIs and mobile architectures. The notion of self is becoming increasingly extended. All of this to say: are we in control of our brains, or are they in control of us? Keywords: hybridization; BMI; tDCS; TMS; DBS; optogenetics; nootropic; radiotelepathy Introduction Newtonian systems aside, futurecasting is a risky enterprise at the best of times.

  • Ethical Implications of Animal Personhood and the Role for Science
    13 Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, XXII, 2020, 1, pp. 13-32 ISBN: 1825-5167 ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF ANIMAL PERSONHOOD AND THE ROLE FOR SCIENCE KRISTIN ANDREWS Department of Philosophy York University (Canada) [email protected] ABSTRACT Personhood is a normative concept applied to beings who are due moral consideration given their agential and social properties. While the concept is a normative one, knowing how to appropriately apply the concept is a descriptive project, requiring guidance from scientists who can help to uncover whether or not a being has the relevant properties. If our current science attributes properties suffi- cient for personhood to a nonhuman animal, then we can directly conclude that the individual is morally considerable. However, from the mere fact that an animal is a person, we cannot draw any specific conclusions about appropriate treatment for captive animals. I will argue that from the prem- ise that an animal is a person we cannot directly conclude that the animal should be released from captivity, should not participate in research, should not participate in ecotourist schemes, or engage in other work; further descriptive premises would be needed. Such premises can only be supplied by experts who know the animal and the animal’s context. With respect to the descriptive project, animal ethicists need to defer to folk experts and scientists who are able to make informed judge- ments about what is best for a particular animal. This requires a collaborative relationship of trust between scientists and ethicists in order to best respect animal persons. KEYWORDS Personhood, animals, agency, animal persons, moral consideration.

  • Reagan's Victory
    Reagan’s ictory How HeV Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison Foreword by William J. Bennett Reagan’s Victory: How He Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison 1 FOREWORD By William J. Bennett Ronald Reagan always called me on my birthday. Even after he had left the White House, he continued to call me on my birthday. He called all his Cabinet members and close asso- ciates on their birthdays. I’ve never known another man in public life who did that. I could tell that Alzheimer’s had laid its firm grip on his mind when those calls stopped coming. The President would have agreed with the sign borne by hundreds of pro-life marchers each January 22nd: “Doesn’t Everyone Deserve a Birth Day?” Reagan’s pro-life convic- tions were an integral part of who he was. All of us who served him knew that. Many of my colleagues in the Reagan administration were pro-choice. Reagan never treat- ed any of his team with less than full respect and full loyalty for that. But as for the Reagan administration, it was a pro-life administration. I was the second choice of Reagan’s to head the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It was my first appointment in a Republican administration. I was a Democrat. Reagan had chosen me after a well-known Southern historian and literary critic hurt his candidacy by criticizing Abraham Lincoln. My appointment became controversial within the Reagan ranks because the Gipper was highly popular in the South, where residual animosities toward Lincoln could still be found.

Chimpanzees form tight social bonds, especially between mothers and children, create tools to assist with eating and express joy by hugging and kissing one another. Over 1,000,000 chimpanzees roamed the tropical rain forests of Africa just a century ago. Now listed as endangered, less than 300,000 exist in the wild because of poaching, the illegal pet trade and habitat loss due to human encroachment. Often, chimpanzees are killed, leaving orphans that are traded and sold around the world. Thanks to accredited zoos and sanctuaries across the globe, strong conservation efforts and programs exist to protect and manage populations of many species of the animal kingdom, including the great apes - the chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan and bonobo. In the United States, institutions such as the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the Species Survival Plan (SSP) work together across the nation in a cooperative effort to promote population growth and ensure the utmost care and conditions for all species.
