摘要

治疗与人体强化之间的界限模糊不清,引发了许多需要解决的伦理问题。治疗是治病救人,使病人恢复健康;增强则是改善人体的正常功能。纳米医学的界限变得更加模糊。纳米医学是指应用纳米技术预防和治疗疾病。欧洲科学基金会将其定义为利用分子工具和人体知识诊断、治疗、预防疾病和创伤、缓解疼痛、保护和改善人类健康的科学与技术(ESF,2005 年)。纳米医学为个人的健康和总体福祉带来了众多前所未有的益处,而纳米人体增强技术将成为实现超人类不朽愿景的入口。超人类主义认为,通过科技进步,我们可以克服身体和认知方面的限制,延长人类寿命,实现永生。增强之间界限的模糊将对人类的意义产生重大影响。本研究将利用新兴科学技术伦理(NEST)作为一个框架,来处理关于人类增强的二分法和两极化观点。

Redesigning Humans in the Nano-Age
The blurring boundaries between therapy and human enhancement raise a lot of ethical questions that need to be addressed. Therapy is healing and restoring the sick to health; enhancement is improving the normal functioning of the body. With nanomedicine, the boundary becomes even hazier. Nanomedicine refers to the application of nanotechnology to the prevention and treatment of diseases. The European Science Foundation defines it as the science and technology of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease and traumatic injury, relieving pain, and preserving and improving human health using molecular tools and knowledge of the human body (ESF, 2005). While nanomedicine delivers numerous and unprecedented benefits to the health and general well-being of individuals, nano- enabled human enhancement technologies will be the gateway to the transhumanist vision of immortality. Transhumanism contends that through the advancements in science and technology, we can overcome our physical and cognitive limitations, extend human lifespan, and attain perpetual existence. The blurring boundaries between enhancement will have remarkable consequences on what it means to be a human being. The study will make use of New and Emerging Science and Technology (NEST) Ethics as a framework for addressing dichotomous approaches and polarizing perspectives on human enhancement.
