Introduction to Human Enhancement

What is/are Human Enhancement?

Human Enhancement - The characteristics of RNA editing, including the lower risk compared with genome editing, may loosen the ethical barriers that are currently imposed on genetic engineering, thus opening new possibilities for research, therapy, and human enhancement. ^[1] I begin by sketching the picture of human enhancement and immortality research and industry and pointing to its preliminary assessment of social impact, drawn by Jacobsen (2017). ^[2] Human Enhancement is the concept used to translate the idea that a biotransformation would generate a bioenhancement. ^[3] Transhumanism, as it aims at human enhancement through science and technology, still centers on the idea of anthropocentrism. ^[4] This contribution provides an overview of human enhancement and human enhancement technologies, the motivation behind their use and their potential impact on individuals and groups/societies. ^[5] This chapter examines how the processes of human enhancement that have been brought about by the digital revolution (including AI and robotics, besides ICTs) have given rise to new social identities and relationships. ^[6] In this paper, we discuss prospects for human enhancement by gene editing, synthetic biology, or implants, for the purposes of future space missions. ^[7] Genetics and ethics are employed to assess the claims of the transhumanist program of human enhancement. ^[8] For quite a long time, it seems, the employment of genomic and other emerging technologies for health (as in predictive genetic testing, discussed in this issue), human enhancement or other purposes has taken up a great deal of bioethical energy. ^[9] Patents covering genome editing make an interesting case because, to date, it appears that the polity is concerned less with certain kinds of access, and more with distribution and limits on the technology’s particular uses, such as human enhancement and certain agricultural and environmental applications. ^[10] We aim to indicate as an alternative a substantial investment in the oldest form of human enhancement, education, so that new methodologies can be thought out and adapted to the demands of contemporary society and to an ideal of more just and egalitarian society. ^[11] Here, I argue these preferences are rooted in ideals of meritocracy and intuitive notions of free will; values that’ll become increasingly tenuous in a future of human enhancement, where they could legitimise mass inequalities. ^[12] We expand on Woollard's notion of reproductive achievements, comparing them with ideas of human enhancement, which aims at humans becoming "stronger and faster". ^[13] The phenomenon and ethics of “voting” will be explored in the context of human enhancements. ^[14] This article reflects on the theologian as dreamer in the context of human enhancement, artificial intelligence and digital technology. ^[15] Spanning across early history until modern day, military application of human enhancements has consistently challenged the evolutionary trajectory of the human species with the promise of providing soldiers abilities beyond current ones on the battlefield. ^[16] 1 The present philosophical attention to internal employment of technology has been mostly guided, but not necessary definitionally exhausted, by reflections on the current state of affairs of informatics, biology, and biomedicine; it is widely thematized by concepts of human enhancement (Parens 1995, 141), anthropotechnic (Teyssot 1994, 16), and biopolitics in general (Foucault 1978, 139–140). ^[17] The ideological analysis reveals five core concepts in the transhumanist conceptual structure: morphological freedom, human enhancement, longevity, the precautionary principle, and personhood. ^[18] Human enhancement is a modification aimed at improving human performance beyond what is typical or average, brought about by science-based and/or technology-based interventions in or on the human body. ^[19] This commentary looks at microdosing psychedelics as an emerging facet of human enhancement through drugs. ^[20] As technology advances, our ability to intervene with ourselves has reached an unprecedented height, and “human enhancement” has come into being and discussed by the public. ^[21] KEYWORDS, : artificial intelligence, human enhancement, cyborgs, human-machine, augmentation INTRODUCTION For many years, science fiction looks to a future where robots are intelligent and cyborgs human/machine mixtures are commonplace: Terminator, The Matrix, Blade Runner and Ben, Robot are good examples of this. ^[22] Concerns around the use of gene-editing technologies in relation to eugenics and human enhancement have produced a multifaceted imaginary. ^[23] This work conducts an experiment in which the possibility of the cooperation between natural and artificial algorithms is assessed, and serves as an approach to human enhancement. ^[24] Human enhancement is one of the hottest bioethical debates because the two parts have strong foundation on their arguments. ^[25] Although this form of human enhancement has not yet been realized, we must think about what it means for us as humans. ^[26] Rich Lee is in human enhancement and augmentation technology. ^[27] ABSTRACT This paper discusses key issues concerning robotic space missions and human enhancement for purposes of missions to deep space. ^[28] The corollary of the humanist project for human enhancement is transhumanism, which considers post-human modes of existence to be desirable, and aspires to overcome our vulnerability by incorporating available technology into our nature. ^[29] The Nuffield report was notable for finding that HGE could be morally permissible, even in cases of human enhancement. ^[30] The human enhancement through of human capacities in the use of technology have object of imagine and building techniques, in order to potentiate the physical and mental activities of individuals, have been the object of study of the current philosophical called Transhumanism. ^[31] The paper claims that, with regard to the escalating dynamics both of human enhancement and of the Anthropocene, neither a truly critical theoretical stance nor a practical subversion is possible without taking the horizons of meaning into account that drive these dynamics. ^[32] Therefore, this article starts by analysing the SQB using human enhancement as a case study. ^[33] For example, philosophy can be considered as an anthropotechnics that contributes to human enhancement, whose survival is at serious risk due to the digital technological revolution that threatens deep reading, a necessary tool for philosophy. ^[34] The center of this approach is that our confidence in the therapeutic somatic case is based on our agreement that health is a fundamental good, and the paper suggests an analogy between the ethics of therapy and the ethics of enhancement, which throws some light on the difficult cases of human enhancement. ^[35] This paper justifies a communitarian approach to the issues of dissemination of biotechnologies and human enhancement. ^[36] They characterize the project as human enhancement, defined as any attempt – temporary or permanent – to overcome the current limitations of the human body through natural or artificial means (https://ieet. ^[37] Keyword : Artificial Intelligence, Human Enhancement, Transhumanism, Posthuman. ^[38] Devenir vegane implique une forme d’optimisation de soi qui a trait autant avec l’ascetisme, qu’avec l’human enhancement. ^[39] Human Enhancement is a modification aimed at improving individual human performance through scientific or technological interventions in the human body. ^[40] Though, the value of human dignity could be reaffirmed by the view point of modern science, modern technology such as the human enhancement including the moral neuroenhancement starts to cause a new kind of legal problems. ^[41] EnglishHuman Enhancement is a modification aimed to improve human’s characteristics and capabilities through scientific or technological interventions in the human body, starting from an ‘integrity condition’ and not from a state of disease. ^[42] Can the person’s approval of her new personality be autonomous? While questions of autonomy have already gathered a significant amount of attention in philosophical literature on human enhancement, the problem just described—henceforth referred to as the question whether self-validating neuroenhancement can be autonomous—would not appear to have received due consideration. ^[43] Although dominated by consequentialist and deontological thinking, the debate about human enhancement has been enriched by several arguments from virtue theory and from virtue ethics. ^[44] This article presents a critical analysis of the views of Michael Sandel on human enhancement in his book The Case Against Perfection (2007). ^[45] Within the broad field of human enhancement, pediatric cognitive neuro-enhancement appears to arouse particular interest. ^[46] <
