Enhancements: Being a (Super)Hero
Question
I want to know whether or not it is moral/ethical to “enhance” or “augment” human's beyond what is considered to be “normal.”
Should we be able to “augment” or “enhance” human beings beyond that which we consider “normal” (as in, superstrength, super-intelligence, etc)?
What is the Torah view on this? What are the sources?
Thank you!

Are Men and Women Equals?
Question
OS 266I am pondering the role of women in religious activity and maybe home life. I was raised with the feminist viewpoint, and view women and men as equals. Though it seems that the Torah, G-d's will, does not. I struggle with this in trying to give my will over to G-d's. What does the Torah say about this situation?
