Research On The Ethical Issues Of Neural Enhancement

Nowadays,with the rapid development of biological science and technology,neural-enhancement as a new biomedical technology has enabled humans to realize their desire in strengthening their brains and their minds.Neural-enhancement enhances human brain by means of drug interventions such as neural enhancement,neural enhancement by gene selection techniques and brain stimulation techniques,thereby enhances human's functions and capabilities in mental,physical,and cognitive.However,many ethical problems brought about by the neural enhancement have become increasingly prominent but not received and got enough attention and resolution.Therefore,it is necessary and urgent to apply the neural-enhancement reasonably and propose a series of ethical issues.Neural-enhancement is a special technical intervention which uses drugs to intervene the human brain,introduces normal foreign genes into the body to change body's traits,and uses different frequencies of brain stimulation to stimulate certain areas of the brain to increase brain activity.These technical methods of neural-enhancement act directly on the human brain.Therefore,it will inevitably create a series of ethical issues that infringe human dignity and autonomy,endanger the safety and leak the privacy of the human brain,and at the same time,undermine the equality of society and the normal order of justice and the application of neural-enhancements will face problems such as risk and benefit ratio.Owing to the root cause of these ethical issues is the abuse of technology,which leads to alienation of tools and loss of the value of tools of technology itself,as well as the non-regulation of the drive and management of interests.It has caused negative impact and potential crisis for the development of human society.Thus in order to move forward better,neural-enhancement technologies can only be used in a more prudent and rational way as well as properly regulated and restrained.Therefore,while observing the principles of bioethics,it is necessary to follow the principle of "enhancing the bottom line of nerves",and set up a monitoring system that strengthens the development and application of nerves,strengthen the government's decision-making and legislation on the control of risks,and strictly establish a system of ethical review and access supervision of neural-enhancement and to clarify the bottom line of neural-enhancement,strengthen the construction of moral code.Thereby reduces the huge ethical impact brought about by the application of technology and gives the neural-enhancement technology a way to benefit people rationally and beneficially.At the same time,the research progress in neural-enhancement technology brings its drawbacks as well as benefits to the future development of human beings.An objective and rational attitude should be used in examining the technology,so that the use of neural-enhancement technology can be rationally used under the ethical regulation,and promote technology to better serve humanity to a healthier and safer future,and create greater value for human society.
