This book offers the policy-maker or decision-maker key insights
and practical information regarding the features of ethics
frameworks best suited to the ethical assessment of human cognitive
enhancement (HCE) applications, such as pharmaceutical cognitive
enhancers and noninvasive brain stimulation techniques. This book
takes as its departure point the entrenched philosophical debate
between opponents and proponents of HCE and the increased
feasibility of some applications of HCE. Recent calls for
policy-making in the area of human enhancement reflect the need to
find a balance between addressing current ethical issues and issues
that are more speculative in nature or are underpinned by abstract
philosophical concepts. Practical ethical approaches for policy or
decision-making should enable the development of an evidence base
for the risks and benefits of HCE applications. Moreover, such
practical approaches should also incorporate a broader range of
value bases that would facilitate convergence regarding certain
decisions and judgements. This book identifies and evaluate tools
that help us to go beyond polarised philosophical debates in order
to assist practical decision makers in concrete ethical
deliberation and decision-making. The focus is on systematic
methods with which to identify relevant ethical values and assess
the impacts of an HCE application on those values in order to
facilitate decision-making regarding the ethical acceptability or
desirability of the application.
