Editorial Opinion of the New England Journal of Medicine improving human characteristics consists of 12 articles from a series of conversations Hastings Center and an essay by the editor review these 12 articles analytical technique for agrochemical. Most authors are philosophers, with a handful of theologians and jurists, and many university departments of biomedical ethics connected analytical technique for agrochemical. As can be expected from these writers, the articles of thoughtful, but sometimes imaginative, exploration of the physical and mental improvements, cosmetic surgery with the use of methylphenidate (Ritalin) in children with combined attention deficit disorder. Understandably, most writers find nothing wrong with the offer improvements to alleviate the severe disability. They are very worried, but on the improvement of compliance with the wishes of the society or the parents or pressure. For example, the use of growth hormone deficiency in children of this hormone is generally praised, although its use to increase the stature of a child, without the gap, so that he or she will approach the average altitude is generally frowned upon. Like the rest of us meet these important philosophers, not in a position to the boundary between the development as a benefit and an improvement in the yield to the desire of some in vain, with the current social norms defined. Many authors try to principles upon which these distinctions must be made, but they usually fail. A major problem identified by some authors, the definition of "normal". Since we now know that no two people are (with the exception of identical twins or clones) are the same, it is my opinion that no one "normal". What improvements should be achieved for a particular property is a level that are either "average" (eg for height) or "above average" (eg intelligence) is. After reading this book, I was always dissatisfied with the proposed solutions to this dilemma, although I now have a better understanding of why I am not satisfied. As some authors, I'm more worried about the growing availability of surgical, pharmacological, and genetic techniques that individuals try to improve themselves and their families looking for their children. Some of these improvements with the vain desire, to a degree that is not acceptable, or the authors, I think, for most doctors comply confused. The improvement of human traits is not recommended, the number of doctors, to increase a strong commitment to biomedical ethics. If you are not willing to see so many complex philosophical treatises, I recommend reading the opening test of the editor, which is a summary of the most thoughtful arguments in the book.
