Unfit for the Future argues that the future of our species depends on our urgently        finding ways to bring about radical enhancement of the moral aspects of our own        human nature. We have rewritten our own moral agenda by the drastic changes we have        made to the conditions of life on earth. Advances in technology enable us to        exercise an influence that extends all over the world and far into the future. But        our moral psychology lags behind and leaves us ill equipped to dealwith the        challenges we now face. We need to change human moral motivation so that we pay more        heed not merely to the global community, but to the interests of future generations.          It is unlikely that traditional methods such as moral education or social reform        alone can bring this about swiftly enough to avertlooming disaster, which would        undermine the conditions for worthwhile life on earth forever. Persson and Savulescu        maintain that it is likely that we need to explore the use of new technologies of        biomedicine to change the bases of human moral motivation. They argue that there are        in principle no philosophical or moral objections to such moral bioenhancement.          Unfit for the Future? challenges us to rethink our attitudes to our own human        nature, before it is too late.
