The Promise and Perils of Enhancing Ourselves
In Better than Human, noted bioethicist Allen Buchanan grapples with the ethical        dilemmas of the medical revolution and biomedical enhancements. One problem, he        argues, is that the debate over these enhancements has divided into polar        extremes--into denunciations of meddling in the natural (or divine) order, or else a        heady optimism that we can cure all that ails humanity. In fact, Buchanan notes, the        human genome has always been unstable, and intervention is no offense against        nature. But we must be aware of the danger of unintended consequences of these        enhancements, and avoid the risk that only the wealthy will enjoy enhancements,        exacerbating social inequalities.
