Biotech and human enhancement

The boundary between healing and enhancement is not a clear line — it is a gradient that has always shifted with capability. The question biotechnology now forces is: when we can change what a human being is, what should we change it into, and who decides? These questions are already being answered; the issue is whether they are being answered consciously.
