PDF-(READ)-Enhancing Human Traits: Ethical and Social Implications (Hastings Center Studies

As biomedical science progresses ever more effective medical technologies are devised for the treatment of illnesses and this is of course a good thing But how do we feel about the use of such technologies by people who are healthy to start with in order to become more than healthy Many such enhancement technologies are already widely available Cosmetic surgery is used for aesthetic enhancement of the body betablockers such as Propranolol by musicians to block the physical symptoms of performance nerves thereby enhancing the quality of their playing and the antidepressant Prozac is used as an agent of what Peter Kramer has called cosmetic psychopharmacology or alteration of personality to make people less shy less compulsive more confident We have to assume that with time more enhancement technologies will become available many more employing surgery genetics pharmacology and heaven knows what else directed in particular at cognitive function and longevity Are enhancement technologies a good thing Overall attitudes towards them are ambivalent in the extreme After all we regard selfdevelopment through education and exercise to become wiser and fitter as a virtue almost a duty Why not pursue these ends by means of enhancement technologies Yet to many people enhancement technologies evoke eugenics Nazi conceptions of the superman and Huxleys Brave New World The appearance of Enhancing Human Traits represents something of a landmark with respect to discussion of these thorny issues This is the product of a project coordinated by the philosopher Erik Parens at the Hastings Center that brought together thinkers from a number of fields including philosophy law sociology theology and womens studies to discuss the rights and wrongs of biological enhancement The book contains 13 very different essays on distinct facets of this complex subject These involve two sorts of discussion about enhancement The first focuses on the distinction between treatment and enhancement and concerns what doctors should and should not do and what healthcare systems should and should not provide The second deals with the broader issue of the value of enhancement technologies per se As Parens puts it the first discussion of enhancement concerns the goals of medicine and the second the goals of society.

Firms with High Ethical Standards. Are more likely to reach strategic goals.. Are viewed more positively by stakeholders. Are better able to attract and retain human resources.. Robots today serve in many roles, from entertainer to educator to executioner. As robotics technology advances, ethical concerns become more pressing: Should robots be programmed to follow a code of ethics, if this is even possible? Are there risks in forming emotional bonds with robots? How might society--and ethics--change with robotics? This volume is the first book to bring together prominent scholars and experts from both science and the humanities to explore these and other questions in this emerging field. Starting with an overview of the issues and relevant ethical theories, the topics flow naturally from the possibility of programming robot ethics to the ethical use of military robots in war to legal and policy questions, including liability and privacy concerns. The contributors then turn to human-robot emotional relationships, examining the ethical implications of robots as sexual partners, caregivers, and servants. Finally, they explore the possibility that robots, whether biological-computational hybrids or pure machines, should be given rights or moral consideration. Ethics is often slow to catch up with technological developments. This authoritative and accessible volume fills a gap in both scholarly literature and policy discussion, offering an impressive collection of expert analyses of the most crucial topics in this increasingly important field. Scholars from fields including philosophy, sociology, history, theology, women\'s studies, and law explore ethical and social implications of new biotechnologies ranging from genetic manipulation to pharmacology and new surgical techniques. They identify the difficulty in distinguishing between treat CSAFE Field Update. . 1. Sarah Chu .  . Sr. Advisor on Forensic Science Policy. . .  June 14. , 2021 . Source: Dark Knight Rises. 2. 3.
