"The defining political conflict of the 21st century will be the battle for life and death. On one side stand the partisans of mortality, who counsel humanity to quietly accept our morbid fate and go gentle into that good night. On the other is the party of life, who rage against the dying of the light and yearn to extend the enjoyment of healthy life to as many as possible for as long as possible."
Ron Bailey

Rights of the Person Program


Sane, adult citizens have a right to control their own bodies and minds. Through the Rights of the Person Program we seek to engage the human rights community, legal scholars, reproductive rights activists, the transgendered community and advocates of public health approaches to illicit drugs in a campaign to deepen and broaden the concept of human rights. In particular we believe that the right to technological self-determination should be protected by laws and treaties. We are working with like-minded groups like the Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics in pursuing this agenda.
