I'd be wary of covering such a topic.
It is incredibly interesting...and does indeed have many profound philosophical implications...but the problem is that it is quite a complex topic, so unless you are prepared to do some really intensive research/study you are going to make things hard on yourself.

Far too often I have seen people embarrass themselves in the name of philosophy when dealing with this subject...and I am far from an expert!

Don't mean to scare you off such a wonderfully interesting topic...just some words of warning! If you do decide to cover this topic...make damn sure you know what you're talking about!
