The Necessary Limits of Human Enhancement Technology and Its Legislative Response
Human enhancement technology is a means of technologically intervening to modify and enhance hu-man physiological functions.It unveils future prospects and limitless possibilities for humanity in pursuing"perfection"and"creating perfection".However,it also raises numerous theoretical challenges concerning mor-al judgment,ethical concepts,and legal systems.The dialectical relationships involving"technology and human society","technology and ethics",and"technology and law"are crucial categories for discussing the rationality and legality of this technology.Human enhancement technology,as a means for individuals to realize their own will,inevitably leads to a series of social risks such as"violation of individual rights","damage to social inter-ests",and"breaching ethical boundaries"once rational control is lost.This necessitates clarifying the legitima-cy,necessity,and legality limits of practices involving human enhancement technology during its implementa-tion process.It is crucial to define the boundaries and responsibilities of technological actions,which constitutes a positive response to the challenges posed by the consequences of human enhancement technology.Further-more,to prevent the misuse of human enhancement technology and mitigate potential social risks,effective le-gal regulation is necessary.This includes clearly defining the rights and obligations of all parties involved and establis-hing mechanisms for holding individuals accountable for technological responsibilities.Such measures aim to achieve a reasonable balance between the interests of the parties involved and the public interests of society.
