| Zusammenfassung: | "The concept of soldier enhancement often invokes images of dystopian futures populated with dehumanized military personnel. These futures serve as warnings in science fiction works, and yet the enhancement of soldiers' combat capability is almost as old as war itself. Today, soldier enhancement is the purpose of military training and the application of innovative technologies, but when does it begin to challenge individuals' very humanity? Bringing together the work of a diverse group of practitioners and academics, Transhumanizing War examines performance enhancement in the military from a wide range of perspectives. The book builds on two key premises: that rapid advances in science and technology are outstripping governments' and military organizations' capacity to adapt, and that this has put pressure on the connection between the military and the public. The contributors to this collection grapple with the implications of continued technological advancement and the possibility that innovative solutions to performance enhancement will risk further alienating the soldier from society. Navigating the fine line between technological promise and ethics, this volume presents a guide to responsible implementation in Canada and abroad. Offering unique insights into a debate on the bleeding edge of public discourse, Transhumanizing War considers the best ways to improve combat effectiveness while still preserving soldiers' humanity."-- |

"The concept of soldier enhancement often invokes images of dystopian futures populated with dehumanized military personnel. These futures serve as warnings in science fiction works, and yet the enhancement of soldiers' combat capability is almost as old as war itself.

Bringing together the work of a diverse group of practitioners and academics, Transhumanizing War examines performance enhancement in the military from a wide range of perspectives. The book builds on two key premises: that rapid advances in science and technology are outstripping governments' and military organizations' capacity to adapt, and that this has put pressure on the connection between the military and the public. The contributors to this collection grapple with the implications of continued technological advancement and the possibility that innovative solutions to performance enhancement will risk further alienating the soldier from society. Navigating the fine line between technological promise and ethics, this volume presents a guide to responsible implementation in Canada and abroad. Offering unique insights into a debate on the bleeding edge of public discourse, Transhumanizing War considers the best ways to improve combat effectiveness while still preserving soldiers' humanity."-- Provided by publisher Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on June 01, 2020). 1 Introduction: A Call to (Enhanced) Arms -- GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES ON ENHANCEMENT -- 2 Mapping the Human Enhancement Literature -- 3 Forecasting Futures and Possible Implications: The German Experience -- 4 Perspectives on the Enhancement of Soldiers: A French Approach -- 5 Human Performance in the United States Army: Enhancing the Future Soldier -- EASING THE BURDEN -- 6 Rationalizing the Approach to Mitigate Soldier Physical Burden: Are Iron Man or Captain America the Magic Bullet? -- 7 A Roadmap for Biomechanical Testing and Evaluation of Future Human Exoskeletons with Respect to Soldier Performance -- 8 Enhancing Performance Starts with Learning -- 9 The Road to Cognitive Optimization -- IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICY AND SOCIETY -- 10 Insulating Soldiers from the Emotional Costs of War: An Ethical Analysis -- 11 Bioethics and Soldier Bio-Enhancement -- 12 Conclusion: The Road Ahead.
