| adam_text | IS IT RIGHT TO USE
BIOMEDICAL
TECHNOLOGIES TO MAKE US BETTER
THAN WELL OR EVEN PERHAPS
BEHER THAN HUMAN?should wevew
our biology as fixed or should we try to improve on
it? College students are already taking cognitive
enhancement drugs. The U.S. Army is already working
to develop drugs and technologies to produce super
soldiers. Scientists already know how to use genetic
engineering techniques to enhance the strength
and memories of mice, and the application of such
technologies to humans is on the horizon.
In Better Than Human, philosopher-bioethicist
Allen Buchanan grapples with the ethical dilemmas of
the
biomedical
enhancement revolution.
Biomedical
enhancements can make us smarter, have better
memories, be stronger, quicker, have more stamina,
live much longer, avoid the frailties of aging, and enjoy
richer emotional lives. In spite of the benefits that
biomedical
enhancements may bring, many people
instinctively reject them. Some worry that we will lose
something important
—
our appreciation for what
we have or what makes human beings distinctively
valuable. Others assume that
biomedical
enhancements
will only be available to the rich, with the result that
social inequalities will worsen. Buchanan shows that
the debate over enhancement has been distorted by
false assumptions and misleading rhetoric. To think
clearly about enhancement, we have to acknowledge
that human nature is a mixed bag and that our species
has many design flaws. We should be open to the
possibility of becoming better than human, while never
underestimating the risk that our attempts to improve
may backfire.
