道德增强中的自由问题:批判与辩护

Freedom in Moral Enhancement:Criticize and Defend

人的自由问题依然是道德增强的核心问题。道德增强构成一定的自由限制和挑战,比如在人群中强制进行道德增强会剥夺人的自由权利,道德增强会减少人的道德选择空间等。但这些限制和挑战并不是绝对的,道德增强也可以在自由问题上获得一定的伦理辩护。然而,目前这样的辩护并不能为未来道德增强的研究和应用提供足够理由,我们不能仅限于从逻辑上理清道德增强技术是否会对人的自由构成挑战,更要开始思考应该如何实质性地保护主体的选择能力和自主权利,避免不必要的伤害。

Human freedom is still the core issue of Moral Enhancement.Moral Enhancement poses certain restrictions and challenges to freedom.For example,compulsory Moral Enhancement in the public will deprive their freedom,meanwhile Moral Enhancement will reduce people's moral choice space.But these limitations and challenges are not absolute,which Moral Enhancement can also gain some ethical defense on the issue of freedom.However,these discussion cannot be enough reason for the research and application of Moral Enhancement in the future,we can't only logically clarify if Moral Enhancement technique will pose challenges to human freedom,but also think about how to protect the ability of choice and autonomy of subject,which avoid unnecessary damage.
