Jean Jacques Rousseau and Human Enhancement
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Human enhancement is one of the hottest bioethical debates because the two parts have strong foundation on their arguments. Human enhancement is both naturally and technologically. Many people agree upon natural human enhancement because it is part of human dignity. Technological human enhancement spark debates pros and cons. We will learn from Jean-Jacques Rousseau to inspire our discussion. We will use Rousseau’s famous statement, “the faculty of self-improvement” in developing argument to arrive in the final conclusion.
