Biotechnologies already on the horizon will enable us to be
smarter, have better memories, be stronger and quicker, have more
stamina, live longer, be more resistant to diseases, and enjoy
richer emotional lives. To some of us, these prospects are
heartening; to others, they are dreadful. In Beyond Humanity a
leading philosopher offers a powerful and controversial exploration
of urgent ethical issues concerning human enhancement. These raise
enduring questions about what it is to be human, about
individuality, about our relationship to nature, and about what
sort of society we should strive to have. Allen E. Buchanan urges
that the debate about enhancement needs to be informed by a proper
understanding of evolutionary biology, which has discredited the
simplistic conceptions of human nature used by many opponents of
enhancement. He argues that there are powerful reasons for us to
embark on the enhancement enterprise, and no objections to
enhancement that are sufficient to outweigh them.
