From Botox to bionic limbs, the human body is more upgradable than
ever. But how much can we alter and still be human? What do we gain or
lose in the process? The award-winning documentary Fixed: The
Science/Fiction of Human Enhancement explores the social impact of
human biotechnologies. Haunting and humorous, poignant and political,
Fixed rethinks "disability" and "normalcy" by exploring technologies
that promise to change our bodies and minds forever. Join us for a
discussion about the ethics of gene editing and disability. Register
online.
