A future where technically advanced humans exist is one of the themes of the World Congress of Philosophy, taking place this week in Beijing. The Congress is held once every five years.

The theme of the event is "Learning to be Human" and thousands of philosophers will be deep in thought considering how ordinary mortals will cope with technically advanced versions of Homo Sapiens.

Professor Lars Svendsen, from Bergen University, will take part in one of the debates and he's been telling Russell Padmore about post humans.
