Many enhancement technologies are distributed by healthcare professionals-by physicians-who are held to the Hippocratic Oath and the goals of medicine. While the ethics of enhancement has been widely discussed with regard to the social justice, humanism, morals and normative values of these interventions, their place in medicine has not attracted a great deal of attention. This paper investigates the potential for enhancement technologies to fulfil the goals of medicine, arguing that they play a role in promoting the health of individuals, and thus, an unavoidable place in medicine. It also warns of potential dangers, suggesting a set of guidelines to initiate conversations regarding the role and responsibilities of physicians practising in an era of enhancement.
许多增强技术是由医疗保健专业人员（即医生）分发的，他们受希波克拉底誓言和医学目标的约束。尽管增强技术的伦理道德已广泛讨论了这些干预措施的社会正义、人文主义、道德和规范价值观，但它们在医学中的地位并未引起太多关注。本文探讨了增强技术实现医学目标的潜力，认为它们在促进个体健康方面发挥了作用，因此在医学中具有不可避免的地位。它还警告了潜在的危险，提出了一套准则，以启动关于增强时代医生的角色和责任的对话。
