MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

The author critically examines what role the notion of perfection should play in the debate regarding the ethics of human enhancement. He argues that the concept of "human perfection" needs to be central when morally assessing human enhancements. This anthropological ideal provides an additional norm to evaluate enhancing interventions, extending the well-established bioethical principles of autonomy, justice, and safety.


Contents:

Contents: Human enhancement: living up to the ideal human? - Human enhancement and perfection - Evaluating human enhancements: the importance of ideals - Getting rid of problematic conceptions of perfection - Defending a particular view of perfection.
