This article examines arguments concerning enhancement of human persons recently presented by Michael Sandel (2004). In the first section, I briefly describe some of his arguments. In section two, I consider whether, as Sandel claims, the desire for mastery motivates enhancement and whether such a desire could be grounds for its impermissibility. Section three considers how Sandel draws the distinction between treatment and enhancement, and the relation to nature that he thinks each expresses. The fourth section examines Sandel's views about parent/child relations and also how enhancement would affect distributive justice and the duty to aid. In conclusion, I briefly offer an alternative suggestion as to why enhancement may be troubling and consider what we could safely enhance.
本文探讨了迈克尔·桑德尔（2004年）最近提出的关于人类增强的论点。在第一部分，我简要描述了他的一些论点。在第二部分，我思考了如桑德尔所主张的，对掌控的渴望是否推动了增强，以及这种渴望是否可能成为其不被允许的理由。第三部分思考了桑德尔如何区分治疗与增强，以及他认为两者各自所表达的与自然的关系。第四部分审视了桑德尔关于亲子关系的观点，以及增强如何影响分配正义和援助义务。总之，我简要提出了一个关于增强为何可能令人不安的替代建议，并思考了我们可以安全增强的内容。
