"Scientists tell us that life on earth might have resulted from organisms in meteorites that crashed into the earth, and that we humans are the result of around 850 million years of evolution. If so, we are the wondrous outcome of the combination of stardust and time. The new technoscience is giving us powers to change that outcome in nanoseconds. We are now engaged in debates about what we may, must not and must do with the extraordinary powers that no other humans before us have ever possessed. The Ethical Imagination explores how we might deal with the issues being raised in those debates." — Margaret Somerville ---- Margaret Somerville is the founding director of the Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law at McGill University, where she holds the Samuel Gale Chair in the Faculty of Law and is a professor in the Faculty of Medicine. She is a consultant to government and non-governmental bodies worldwide, and is the recipient of many honorary doctorates and awards, including the Order of Australia. ---- ABOUT THE MASSEY LECTURES CBC Radio began the Massey Lectures in 1961 to provide a forum on radio where major contemporary thinkers could address important issues of our time. The series is named for the former governor-general of Canada, Vincent Massey. CBC's partners in the Massey Lectures are Massey College in the University of Toronto and House of Anansi Press. Past Massey Lectures have included Martin Luther King, Doris Lessing, Noam Chomsky, Jean Vanier, Thomas King, and Stephen Lewis. The Massey Lectures are recorded live and broadcast on the CBC Radio One program IDEAS.

This chicks voice is hideous...like finger nails scraping across a chalkboard. Well, it's educational I suppose...

Hi,
I would also like to "upload" the 2004 Massey Lectures with Ronald Wright's "The Short History of Progress", if anybody could try and instruct me in the procedure to do so, without being rude, and nasty. If that is not possible, please keep it to yourself.
I'll check back occasionally to see if anybody is interested.

Provide contact details or sign up in the forum and send me a private message there.

Thank you thank you thank you... have been looking for this ever since it was aired on the CBC...

Please upload any or all of the Massey lectures!
Ronald Wright really changed my thinking!

HI,
As I said, I have Ronald Wright's massey lecture on mp3. I just need some instruction on uploading them. I have looked for instructions but as of yet have not found any that are easy to understand.
As soon as I have found out how to upload, I will. As of yet no one seems to be able to help.
Too bad.

"Like finger nails scraping across a chalkboard"? Are you sure this upload isn't a different one of the Massey Lectures . . . say, "Payback"?
JK ;)
