The debate on human enhancement (HE), i.e. intentional effort to improve individuals’ performance with the help of technical or biomedical interventions, has mainly centered on contrasting characterizations about either its moral legitimacy or technical plausibility, reaching an impasse. Looking for a way out of this stalemate, this collection of articles does not formulate prior standards to assess the desirability or legitimacy of enhancement, but explores some possible features for its responsible governance. Based on these assessments, the articles suggest possible approaches to systems design, regulation, and public engagement which can create conditions that allow for the the assumption and assignment of responsibility for HE and its ethical and social implications.

Abstract
The debate on human enhancement (HE), i.e. intentional effort to improve individuals’ performance with the help of technical or biomedical interventions, has mainly centered on contrasting characterizations about either its moral legitimacy or technical plausibility, reaching an impasse. Looking for a way out of this stalemate, this collection of articles does not formulate prior standards to assess the desirability or legitimacy of enhancement, but explores some possible features for its responsible governance. Based on these assessments, the articles suggest possible approaches to systems design, regulation, and public engagement which can create conditions that allow for the the assumption and assignment of responsibility for HE and its ethical and social implications.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
