What is transhumanism? | Albert Lin | Storytellers Summit 2019

For technologist and National Geographic Explorer Albert Lin, human technology is personal. He describes the moment when his leg was crushed under a vehicle two years ago as both his death and his rebirth. Now partially bionic, he endeavors to make prosthetics more accessible to the 40 million amputees in the world. The National Geographic Storytellers Summit is a multiday celebration of the photographers, filmmakers, journalists, and data visualizers who witness the major events of our time, illuminate critical issues, and inspire action.
