The field of biotechnology has allowed us to make radical
revisions and reappraisals of the nature and possibilities of our
biological existence. Yet beyond its immediate utility, does a
technologically-enhanced life always amount to a better life?
Would a person living it be a better person? And if the answer
is yes, might we have a duty to promote these enhancements
and advances?
Bioscience
ond
the Good Life explores the complex relationship
between modern
biosciences
and human flourishing. Here
cognitive enhancement, longevity and the spectacle of
excellence in sports are examined within the context of what
constitutes a life well lived.
Brassington advances an insightful and involved ethical response
to the existing debates between bioscientific optimists and
pessimists
-
one that mediates their differences and expands
the traditional scope of their arguments. For Brassington, the
biosciences
can make our lives better in some
-
sometimes
surprising
-
ways; but there are times when the best life means
ignoring some of their promises. There is little that we may not
do, but less that we must.
bin Brassington is Lecturer in Btoethics and Medical Law at the Centre for
Social Ethics and Policy and the Institute for Science, Ethics and Innovation,
School of Law, University of Manchester, UK.
