New PMed Blog: The Experimental Man
David Duncan has started a new website, The Experimental Man, to report just how much one can learn about oneself with modern pmed testing… by taking all the tests himself.
From his introduction blog post:
The plan is for one person – me – to take the ultimate high-tech exam: tests that reveal everything from my genetic markers for, say, diabetes and novelty seeking behavior to levels of pollutants in my blood to brain scans that attempt to tell me how greedy or altruistic I am, or if I am in love or believe in God.
I’ll use all of this poking, prodding, and scanning as a means to describe the latest science and technology, while assessing what is useful for a healthy individual, and what is not – and how I feel finding out so much information about my inner workings. Is there anything I don’t want to know?
Perhaps most important, the project will explore what it means to be human – and why we are obsessed with experimenting on ourselves.
A book is due in early 2009. We’re looking forward to it!
