What Will Humans Look Like in 100 Years?

Would it be in our best interest to use modern medical technology to evolve ourselves?

By TED11.23.16

In a visionary talk that ranges from medieval prosthetics to present day neuroengineering and genetics, Enriquez sorts out the ethics associated with evolving humans and imagines the ways we'll have to transform our own bodies if we hope to explore and live in places other than Earth.
