Abstract
espanolLos aspectos eticos del mejoramiento humano han sido objeto de un intenso debate. Numerosos autores bien conocidos se han involucrado en el o se han mostrado criticos con el uso de tecnologias capaces de modificar o mejorar a los seres humanos. Quiero argumentar que tenemos una obligacion moral o una razon moral para mejorarnos a nosotros mismos y a nuestros hijos, no solo que se trata de algo meramente permisible. En realidad, tenemos el mismo tipo de obligacion que tenemos de tratar y prevenir enfermedades. No solo podemos mejorar: deberiamos mejorar. EnglishThere has been considerable recent debate on the ethics of human enhancement. A number of prominent authors have been concerned about or critical of the use of technology to alter or enhance human beings. I want to argue that far from being merely permissible, we have a moral obligation or moral reason to enhance ourselves and our children. Indeed, we have the same kind of obligation as we have to treat and prevent disease. Not only can we enhance, we should enhance.
人类进步的伦理方面一直是激烈辩论的主题。许多作者众所周知的参与或已表明了criticos使用科技能够改变或改善人类。我想说的是,我们有道德义务或道德理由来改善我们自己和我们的孩子,而不仅仅是这仅仅是允许的。事实上,我们有同样的义务治疗和预防疾病。我们不仅能够改善:我们应该改进。最近关于人类增强的伦理问题有相当大的争论。许多著名作家关注或批评利用技术改变或增强人类的能力。我想说的是,我们不仅仅是被允许的,我们有道德义务或道德理由来增强我们自己和我们的孩子。实际上,we have the same kind of义务as we have to就捣蛋和预防疾病。我们不仅可以加强,而且应该加强。
