Humanity+

A campaign to modify national laws and international human rights conventions to establish

(a) that bodily autonomy, reproductive rights, and cognitive liberty should be explicitly recognized and protected,

(b) that universal access to enabling technologies is a right in itself, and a precondition for all other rights, and that

(c) personhood, sentience, and capacity for having morally relevant interests are the bases of rights-bearing, not humanness or the human genome.

Specific goals:

(a) Expanded access to reproductive health technologies (contraception, fertility, prenatal testing, abortion, and germinal choice).

(b) Liberalized psychoactive drug laws, and support for research into cognitive enhancement technologies, vaccines and treatments for substance dependence, and safer psychoactive substances.

(c) Extension of human-level rights protections to great apes.

Action items:

(a) Support and outreach to drug law reform efforts, reproductive rights campaigns, transgender rights, access to treatment and assistive devices for the disabled, and extending rights to great apes;

(b) A conference at the United Nations in New York in April 2007, co-sponsored with the IEET and the IHEU Bioethics office at the United Nations

(c) Advertise and build the wta-disability list.

(d) Publish pamphlets on H+ and disability, transgender, reproductive rights, drug law reform and great apes.
