Discussion on the status of future human genetic enhancement policies. The conclusion lands on the need to guarantee individual rights in a firm and constitutional way. Also to further expand and increase the discussion and awareness about the forthcoming bio-technological possibilities – and how these will affect the relation between centralized decisions and the individual.
This video is based on my paper, The Choice of Enhancement. Here’s the abstract and a PDF download of it.
“This paper involves a discussion on the mandatory status of future human enhancement policies. Departing from a deontological background and outlining some potential utilitar- ian dangers in a possible future of centralized policy regarding human enhancement tech- nologies. The conclusion lands on the need to guarantee individual rights in a firm and constitutional way. Also to further expand and increase the discussion and awareness about the forthcoming bio-technological possibilities – and how these will affect the rela- tion between centralized decisions and the individual.”
