The Need for Moral Enhancement
Ingmar Persson and Julian Savulescu
Reviews and Awards
"This superb book consists of a sustained, logically constructed and convincing argument in favor of the modest claim that 'moral bioenhancement' geared toward expanding and refining our moral sense 'must be investigated and...perhaps deployed' (pp. 2 and 9)...a must-read for both the general population and the professional philosopher. Still another beautiful feature of this book is its easy movement from one fascinating, well-informed mini-essay to the next...I want to know, and I want my students to know, all of this stuff--and I know of no better source than this brilliant book to get us started." -- Journal of Moral Philosophy
"Persson and Savulescu's insights into human behavior demonstrate a novel way of describing the effects of sin that is rarely, if at all, found among Thomistic theologians." --National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly
