Military unprepared for 'mutant' soldiers of the future, says report
1/2/2013Soldiers of the future won't be mutants like the "X-Men" (unfortunately). But they will be super-enhanced by technologies that will boost their strength, endurance and fearlessness. However, a new report claims the military is poorly prepared for the questions raised by these "military human enhancements." Who'll be blamed if drugs or implants backfire on their subjects? Will soldiers be forced to consent to accepting these treatments? And could unleashing these new technologies kick off a potentially devastating arms race? Looks like the wars of this brave new world could be fought by the ethicists. [Source]
