Description

Human Enhancement explores the use of technology to improve human capacities. Advances in biomedical science have raised questions about how far we should go in enhancing human abilities. From cognition-enhancing drugs used by students and athletes, to the potential for future interventions that could modulate mood, personality, and physical performance, this topic has sparked intense public debate. The book presents original contributions from leading ethicists and moral thinkers, representing a range of perspectives on the issue. These arguments will shape how humanity develops in the near future. The authors examine the implications of human enhancement, including the potential risks and benefits, and consider whether we should adopt a conservative or transhumanist approach to these emerging technologies. By examining the latest developments in this crucial debate, Human Enhancement provides valuable insights into the complex issues surrounding human enhancement.
