The human enhancement debate and disability: new bodies for a better life
New York, NY: Palgrave-Macmillan (2014)
Abstract
Improving human characteristics goes beyond compensating for an impairment. This book explores the rich and complex relationship between enhancement and impairment, showing that the study of disability offers new ways of thinking about the social and ethical implications of improving the human condition.Author's Profile
