المسائل الأخلاقية في التعزيز البشري

Abstract EN

Human enhancement has emerged in recent years as a blossoming topic in applied ethics.

With continuing advances in science and technology, people are beginning to realize that some of the basic parameters of the human condition might be changed in the future.

One important way in which the human condition could be changed is through the enhancement of basic human capacities.

If this becomes feasible within the lifespan of many people alive today, then it is important now to consider the normative questions raised by such prospects.

The answers to these questions might not only help us be better prepared when technology catches up with imagination, but they may be relevant to many decisions we make today, such as decisions about how much funding to give to various kinds of research.
