Man/Mecha

Philosopher of the moment Slavoj Zizek has a riveting essay on bioethics in the latest London Review of Books. I agree with only a portion of what he says but he asks the important questions and plays out the implications well. He's from a magical place called Europe where philosophers not only exist but actually engage real issues.
