Gregory E. Pence - How to Build a Better Human |
Medicine has recently discovered spectacular tools for
human enhancement. Yet to date, it has failed to use them well, in part
because of ethical objections. Meanwhile, covert attempts flourish to
enhance with steroids, mind-enhancing drugs, and cosmetic surgery—all
largely unstudied scientifically.
The little success to date has been sporadic and financed privately. In How to Build a Better Human,
prominent bioethicist Gregory E. Pence argues that people, if we are
careful and ethical, can use genetics, biotechnology, and medicine to
improve ourselves, and that we should publicly study what people are
doing covertly. Pence believes that we need to transcend the two common
frame stories of bioethics: bioconservative alarmism and uncritical
enthusiasm, and that bioethics should become part of the solution—not
the problem—in making better humans.
