Will enhancements help or hurt?
In bioethics, where we are concerned with allocation of scarce resources, one of the questions that needs to be discussed is access to enhancement technologies. Scientists at the World Economic Forum are concerned that cognitive enhancement, IQ boosters and drugs designed to attack genetic weaknesses may increase competition in the future and create a playing field that is far from equal. Sounds like a place for the Gund Institute of Ecological Economics to weigh in.
