Hills Life (a Conde Nast Publication) | Transformation of Capitalism & Happiness
To eliminate inequality, current system needs to be replaced or regulated… In my line of research, my concerns about capitalism revolve around inequality. For example: if we can heal and enhance the body with biotechnology, bionics, enhancements, replacement parts or replacement organs under a system of capitalism this would only be available to the wealthy and could create a super-race of humans only available to the rich. We already see this to a certain degree in America with access to quality healthcare being available to the rich. In my perspective, this is a system that must change and be regulated…

These artists and performers are biohacking in incredible ways
From mind-reading prosthetics to a super-human drumming arm, meet the mavericks blurring the lines of art and science through their work. “Do I see a future where we can grow our own body parts and organs? Yes, I can envision that future, but it brings up a lot of ethical and moral issues,” warns Karle. “This is where bigger exploration comes into play and we really have to consult a lot of different fields – philosophers, ethicists and policy makers – [before we go ahead], not just have the ability to do it scientifically. We have to think about our…
