摘要

从史前开始，人属就利用技术来增强适应性。随着生物技术的发展，西医正在改善人体的结构和功能，使其超出自然状态。未来50年生物技术的进步将进一步提高人类的寿命和能力。尽管道德上的争论鼓励超人类主义技术，但目前的人类社会还没有认真对待这样一个未来世界的可能性。本文将讨论未来的益智增强剂和人类动物基因剪接作为可能的增强技术，以及它们的伦理和社会影响。

Remaking Homo: ethical issues on future human enhancement

Since prehistory, the genus Homo has used technologies in order to enhance fitness. With the growth of bio-technologies, western medicine is improving the structure and function of the human body beyond its natural state. Bio-technological improvements in the next 50 yr prom- ise further increases in human life span and performance. Notwithstanding the ethical argument encouraging transhumanist technologies, present human societies have yet to come to grips with the possibility of such a future world. This article will discuss future nootropic enhancers and humananimal gene splicing as possible enhancement technologies in relation to their ethical and social implications.
