Paperback. Etat : Fair. Biotechnologies already on the horizon will enable us to be smarter, have better memories, be stronger and quicker, have more stamina, live longer, be more resistant to diseases, and enjoy richer emotional lives. To some of us, these prospects are heartening; to others, they are dreadful. In Beyond Humanity a leading philosopher offers a powerful and controversial exploration of urgent ethical issues concerning human enhancement. These raise enduring questions about what it is to be human, about individuality, about our relationship to nature, and about what sort of society we should strive to have. Allen E. Buchanan urges that the debate about enhancement needs to be informed by a proper understanding of evolutionary biology, which has discredited the simplistic conceptions of human nature used by many opponents of enhancement. He argues that there are powerful reasons for us to embark on the enhancement enterprise, and no objections to enhancement that are sufficient to outweigh them.…

Etat : Very Good. : En 'Más allá de la humanidad', Allen E. Buchanan explora los urgentes problemas éticos planteados por los avances biotecnológicos que prometen mejorar nuestras capacidades físicas y mentales. El autor examina las implicaciones de estas tecnologías en nuestra concepción de la humanidad y el tipo de sociedad que aspiramos a construir. Buchanan argumenta que el debate sobre el mejoramiento humano debe basarse en una comprensión sólida de la biología evolutiva, desafiando las nociones simplistas de la naturaleza humana utilizadas por los opositores al mejoramiento. Este libro ofrece una exploración profunda y controvertida de las cuestiones éticas más apremiantes relacionadas con el futuro de la humanidad.
