Makale Özeti:
|
Medicine has a lot of principles that need to be complied with especially when it comes to saving
the life of the individual and, at the same time, respecting his rights. Today there are increasingly
more cases of malpraxis either because these principles are not fully complied with or out of
negligence. We believe that one of the most important principles of medicine is autonomy, whereas
it is essential for the individual to act in accordance with his principles and values or those of the
society where he lives. In this paper I shall analyze the concept of autonomy and its relationship
with transhumanism. I shall argue that within human enhancement - whether cognitive
enhancement or human enhancement - the individual must be autonomous and must be able to decide regarding his maximum benefit. We believe that human bioenhancement is a project that – when put into practice - could have negative consequences, since moral enhancement is rather seen
as a danger to the freedoms and autonomy of the individual.
