DESCRIPTION:Title: Enhancing Equality\n<br>\nAbstract: Human enhancement is the improvement of certain human traits and capacities through the use of medicine and biotechnologies. Many scholars have expressed concerns about possible inequalities resulting from non-universal\, or even non-widespread&nbsp\;access to enhancement. We identify three main positions in the debate over enhancement and equality: 1) egalitarian arguments against enhancement\; 2) a sufficientarian or prioritarian &ldquo\;limited defence&rdquo\; of the &ldquo\;therapy-enhancement&rdquo\; distinction\; 3) a sufficientarian argument for human enhancement. &nbsp\;In this talk we examine the strengths and weaknesses of each of these positions\, and we formulate a fourth proposal that we think better meets egalitarian requirements. We propose that if one cares about equality\, then one has to support a policy which involves subsidizing enhancements for certain groups of people and prohibiting enhancements for other ones.\n<br>
