The Promise of Enhancement
From genetic engineering to neurotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI),a plethora of technologies hold the potential to enhance human abilities in myriad ways. Proponents of human enhancement advocate for its potential to overcome diseases, improve cognitive functions, and augment physical capabilities, creating a world free from suffering and limitations.
Ethical Considerations
While the pursuit of human enhancement offers tantalizing possibilities, it also raises profound ethical questions that require careful scrutiny. The book delves into these ethical considerations, examining issues such as:
- Equity and Access: Who should have access to enhancement technologies? How can we ensure fairness and prevent the creation of a divide between the enhanced and unenhanced?
- Safety and Long-Term Consequences: What are the potential risks and unintended consequences of human enhancement? How can we ensure the safety and well-being of individuals and society as a whole?
