The project of "moral bioenhancement" (MB) poses many challenges to legal philosophers and jurists.

Abstract
The project of "moral bioenhancement" (MB) poses many challenges to legal philosophers and jurists. The main questions that will guide the discussion are: can moral obligation to bioenhancement become a legal rule within the current constitutionalist European culture? How can rights to health, to self-determination, to equality, and non-discrimination be implemented with regard to healthy individuals outside the legally binding physician-patient relationship? What are the implications of the proposal of MB for the principles of equality and non-discrimination? The inquiry into the legal sphere is useful to assess whether the project of MB as proposed by its advocates is consistent with the current legal interpretation of well-defined fundamental rights like the right to equality, to non-discrimination, to self-determination, and to healthFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
