Abstract
A truly interdisdplinary approach to the topic of human enhancement requires input not only from the natural and social sciences, but also from the humanities. This interaction involves the reading of literary texts that raise retevant questions. H. G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau is a text that artistically explores interspecies experimentation for the creation of chimeras. By examining the novel in relation to chimeras of ancient literary myth and their correlative scientific manifestations, important questions arid fresh insights may be gained, contributing to the conversation at large. Interdisciplinary aporoaches receive affirmatton increasingly among supporters of higher education, scientific experimentatton, and human enhancement, including Nick Bostrom, a leader in the transhumanist movement However, Brostom's rhetoric betrays itself and highlights the relevance of an authentic interdisciplinary interface drawing on the humanities and even science fiction.
