The author critically examines what role the notion of perfection should play in the debate regarding the ethics of human enhancement. He argues that the concept of "human perfection" needs to be central when morally assessing human enhancements. This anthropological ideal provides an additional norm to evaluate enhancing interventions, extending the well-established bioethical principles of autonomy, justice, and safety.

Rezensionen
«Roduit's perfectionist account of enhancement is a very welcome conceptual novelty. The book deserves to be widely read. It should generate a richer, if not perfect, debate on human enhancement.» (Nicholas Agar, Victoria University of Wellington)
