The current debate: (C+M) E and ultimate harm

In: Filozofija i društvo, Band 23, Heft 4, S. 87-96

Abstract

Persson and Savulescu (2011b) is a largely successful defense of the position
promoted in Persson and Savulescu (2008) against Fenton?s critique of this
position in Fenton (2009). However, one of Fenton?s essential censures has
remained without response: if moral enhancement (ME) is to occur at the
genetic or biological level, as Persson and Savulescu suppose it can and
ought to, it will not be possible without significant scientific progress,
including cognitive enhancement (CE) by bio-medical means. I will offer a
response here to this critique Fenton raised-a response Persson and Savulecu
did not give. It will be based on the concept of ?integrated
neuroenhancement?, abbreviated (C+M) E.
