Description:
Being human implies being part of a civilization that seeks to extend its cultural and humane boundaries, a civilization that reaches out to new horizons whilst overcoming its prejudices with regard to other minds and longstanding scientific insights. Law plays an important role in this extension of the human essence. The language of the Law, becoming almost universal and reaching beyond the boundaries of a specific legal system, is the language that guides us towards its vital questions about specific profiles of law today. Moore laid the groundwork for the narrative about reengineering the human body and brain in a process of accelerating progress. Hence Kurzweil: quot;we are shrinking the key feature size of technology ... at the exponential rate of approximately a factor of four per linear dimensions per decade.quot; Shrinking seizes will enter the nanotechnology range with unknown frameworks, patterns and designs for a new technology are in place. Moore's Law will be highly relevant for legal discourse and its functionaries: lawyers and legal theoreticians alike!
