过程论视域下生物医学道德增强技术的伦理问题

The Ethical Issues of Moral Bioenhancement from Process Theory Perspective

生物医学道德增强的论辩双方皆从后果论的分析框架出发,陷入了"循环论证"的逻辑谬误,使得论辩的有效性大打折扣。通过引入现象学的过程论思想,表明道德增强技术恰恰构成了对传统德性习得过程的省略甚至剥夺,使该项技术进一步导致个体经验的剥夺和个人同一性的剥夺这两个伦理问题。从而道德增强技术无法在真正意义上提升人的道德能力,反而会因为道德经验的普遍阙如,使进一步提升自身的道德能力成为不可能。

The debate on the issue of moral bioenhancement is based on the analytical framework of consequentialism,both sides of the debate fall into the logical fallacy of"circular reasoning",thus the validity of the debate is diminished.The phenomenological process theory holds that moral bioenhancement can be seen as the omission or even deprivation of the traditional moral acquisition process,thus it could lead to two ethical issues:the deprivation of personal experiences on one hand,and personal identity on the other.Therefore,moral bioenhancement cannot improve people’s moral ability in a real sense,on the contrary,the lack of moral experiences makes it impossible to further improve our moral abilities.
