<P>You, along with other French speakers, may enjoy reading my critical analysis of my experience with VOIR since it will give you insight into the phenomenon of information manipulation by the media.</P>

<P>The lesson is that you should always be aware of how every word you say or write to a journalist, especially one that has a bioLuddite bias, can and will be taken out of context and used against you in his article. Therefore, avoid wild speculation about future technological breakthroughs and focus on your best moral and scientific arguments for human enhancement. More importantly, the best way to promote transhumanism is by honestly stressing the importance of responsibility.</P>
