Mainly biological, but with a bit of cybernetics thrown in when I look at intellectual enhancement.But, yeah, along those lines.
I'm working on the assumption that enhancements are worth pursuing to the extent that they contribute to the good life; so I need to work out what constitutes 'the good life' (that's the tricky bit, but I have some ideas), whether a number of enhancements really do contribute to it so much after all (a few, yes; most, not really; and one or two might be antagonistic), and whether there's a duty to enhance/ genetically engineer your kids (not really, though it might be admirable).
Right. Must. Be. Off.
