As we are increasingly using new technologies to change
ourselves beyond therapy and in accordance with our own desires,
understanding the challenges of human enhancement has become one of
the most urgent topics of the current age. This volume contributes
to such an understanding by critically examining the pros and cons
of our growing ability to shape human nature through technological
advancements. The authors undertake careful analyses of decisive
questions that will confront society as enhancement interventions
using bio-, info-, neuro- and nanotechnologies become widespread in
the years to come. They provide the reader with the conceptual
tools necessary to address such questions fruitfully. What makes
the book especially attractive is the combination of conceptual,
historical and ethical approaches, rendering it highly original. In
addition, the well-balanced structure allows both favourable and
critical views to be voiced. Moreover, the work has a crystal clear
structure. As a consequence, the book is accessible to a broad
academic audience. The issues raised are of interest to a wide
reflective public concerned about science and ethics, as well as to
students, academics and professionals in areas such as philosophy,
applied ethics, bioethics, medicine and health management.
