In this article, the author argues that there are psychological and biological constraints on our moral behaviour, rational decision-making and capacities to love. For example, low oxytocin levels can constrain our willingness to cooperate with others, and our capacity to maintain long-term loving relationships. There is also evidence that increasing iodine intake can improve a person's general intelligence, while drugs such as Modafinil can enhance cognitive performance. Savulescu argues that we have a moral obligation to remove those constraints, and that we ought to accept these methods of improving our moral behaviour, decision-making, and cognitive functioning.
在本文中，作者认为我们的道德行为、理性决策和爱的能力存在心理和生理上的限制。例如，低催产素水平会限制我们与他人合作的意愿以及维持长期恋爱关系的能力。也有证据表明，增加碘的摄入量可以提高人的一般智力，而像莫达非尼这样的药物可以增强认知表现。萨夫勒斯库认为，我们有道德义务消除这些限制，并且我们应该接受这些改善我们道德行为、决策和认知功能的方法。
