An international team of ethicists refresh the debate about human enhancement by examining whether resistance to the use of technology to enhance our mental and physical capabilities can be supported by articulated philosophical reasoning, or explained away, e.g. in terms of psychological influences on moral reasoning.
This book investigates whether philosophical arguments against human enhancement technologies hold logical weight or if they are merely products of psychological bias. The authors, a team of international ethicists, utilize a structured analytical framework to dissect the moral implications of augmenting human mental and physical capabilities. By contrasting traditional resistance with contemporary ethical theory, the text seeks to determine if the opposition to enhancement is grounded in reason or irrational cognitive patterns.
