Perspectives from philosophy, ethics, law, and policy are applied to a wide variety of enhancements, including integration of technology within human bodies, as well as genetic, biological, and pharmacological modifications. Humans may be permanently or temporarily enhanced with artificial parts by manipulating (or reprogramming) human DNA and through other enhancement techniques (and combinations thereof). We are on the cusp of significantly modifying (and perhaps improving) the human ecosystem. This evolution necessitates a continuing effort to re-evaluate current laws and, if appropriate, to modify such laws or develop new laws that address enhancement technology. A legal, ethical, and policy response to current and future human enhancements should strive to protect the rights of all involved and to recognize the responsibilities of humans to other conscious and living beings, regardless of what they look like or what abilities they have (or lack). A potential ethical approach is outlined in which rights and responsibilities should be respected even if enhanced humans are perceived by non-enhanced (or less-enhanced) humans as “no longer human” at all.Technology: general issuesbicssccyborgsimplantsposthumansHomo technologicusHomo sapienshuman-machine interactioncyborgenhancement technologyprosthesisbrain-computer interfacenew sensesidentityneuroprosthesispatent lawcopyright lawcognitive libertyinternational lawevolutioncultural technologyhuman enhancementengineeringbionicsbiotechnologydisabilitymarketingcultural studiesDisneysupercriphuman enhancementsautonomyinformed consentmoral enhancementvulnerabilitynumeric identitymilitary ethicshuman-machine interactionupgrading humanssuperhumansgene editingembryo selectionCRISPRcognitive enhancementassisted reproductive technologies (ART)public opinionin vitro gametogenesis (IVG)genome-wide association studies (GWAS)brain-computer interface (BCI)brain-machine interface (BMI)ethicallegal and social Issues (ELSI)neuroethicsnarrative reviewintellectual propertycopyrightneuropoliticsbrain sciencevotinghuman rightsethicsdiscriminationracismspeciesismableismhuman-robot interactionmindsense of agencyalienationTechnology: general issuesBarfield Woodrowedt992579Blodgett-Ford SayokoedtBarfield WoodrowothBlodgett-Ford SayokoothBOOK9910557334203321Human Enhancement Technologies and Our Merger with Machines3026953UNINA
