CALL FOR PAPERS
TRANSFORMING HUMANITY: FANTASY? DREAM? NIGHTMARE? Conference at the University of Pennsylvania, December 3-4, 2010 Scheduled Speakers: Allen Buchanan (Duke), Arthur Caplan (Penn), Martha Farah (Penn), Ronald Lindsay (CFI), Maxwell Mehlman (Case Western), Jonathan Moreno (Penn), Rosemarie Tong (UNC-Charlotte) “Transforming Humanity: Fantasy? Dream? Nightmare?” suggests three of the main approaches that have been taken in addressing human enhancements, namely that it is unrealistic to expect significant changes to human nature through enhancements, that significant changes are both possible and desirable, and that significant changes are possible but are highly undesirable. We invite papers from all academic disciplines that address any aspect of the conference theme, especially where scientific and technological breakthroughs may call for novel approaches to dealing with human transformation. GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION CONTACT INFORMATION Research in CFI Publications CFI has a site about CFI publications providing links and more details.

It also welcomes work on the philosophical credentials of both naturalism and various supernaturalist alternatives to naturalism.\ The Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice is the only peer-reviewed journal devoted exclusively to distinguishing scientifically-supported claims from scientifically-unsupported claims in clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, and allied disciplines.
