New on Transhumanity (www.transhumanism.com):
Letter - The Battle for Human Dignity, by James Hughes, October 2,
2002. At some point in the 20th century progressives and civil
libertarians lost the battle for the family... Now conservatives
would like to claim "human dignity" and I object. Yes, "human
dignity" may have little intrinsic meaning. Like "love" and "God,"
human dignity is usually verbal hand-waving deployed when people
don't really know what they are trying to protect or assert. So why
am I bothered by the conservative grab for "human dignity? "...
