Abstract

Abstract The authors analyse a new paradigmatic approach to the enhancement of human beings proposed in transhumanist visions. Transhumanist authors promote the biochemical enhancement of healthy people via the concepts of bio-happiness and bio-love (love drugs). The paper is based on an assessment of the value attributed to the lives of disabled people vis-à-vis those of healthy people. The value imbalance in the transhumanist conception is criticized on the grounds that it is an incorrect response to the posthuman urge to redefine human beings. The authors’ final standpoint is that the value of human beings should be derived primarily from our naturalness and that artificiality (which is indisputably a part of people) should be subordinate to this.

健康人与生物化学增强:人类增强的新范式方法?

摘要:作者分析了超人类主义视野中提出的一种新的人类提升范式。超人类主义作者通过生物幸福和生物爱(爱药)的概念来促进健康人的生化增强。这篇论文是基于对残疾人的生命相对于-à-vis健康人的生命的价值的评估。超人类主义观念中的价值失衡受到批评，理由是它是对后人类重新定义人类的冲动的错误回应。作者最后的观点是，人类的价值应该主要来源于我们的自然性，而人为性(无可争议的是人的一部分)应该从属于自然性。
