The Mission of the Center for Transhuman Jurisprudence is to assure that rights to our minds, bodies, and genomes stand in the face of emerging and disruptive technologies.

Synopsis:
Neurosecurity is among our most vital interests. Initially defined as protection for neural implants from malicious, if not lethal, hacking, the definition now includes protection fromneurotechnologies that affect, manipulate, or control neurological structures or functions of individuals, groups, or populations in the service of national defense or military objectives. The meninges, the membrane that envelopes the brain must become the last bastion of privacy of the most vital kind - a firewall for our thoughts, opinions, inclinations, and feelings.If the laws silence in regard to cognitive liberty and neurosecurity remains unchanged, neurotechnology will be driven almost exclusively by the profit motive in an unregulated market and an opaque national security apparatus. The Center for Transhuman Jurisprudence stands for our right to cognitive liberty - the right to responsibly modify or refuse modification of our minds by drugs, implants and other techniques.
