This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: !_biotechnology, Human beings who receive biotech enhancements receive an unfair advantage in competition. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotech enhancements raise issues of distributive justice., If humans have a natural desire to overcome their limitations, many will seek out biotechnological enhancements that will give them unfair advantages. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Human beings who receive biotech enhancements receive an unfair advantage in competition., Human beings are born with infirmities. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Human beings have a natural desire to overcome limitations., Biotechnological advancements cannot be considered master of nature since everything in nature is open to any desirable use. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnology advances should not be used to manipulate our own given nature., If society becomes too homogenous, the ceiling of human possibility will be greatly lowered. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnology for nontherapeutic uses will lower the ceiling of human possibilities and infringe on individual freedoms., If biotechnological enhancements raise issues of distributive justice, lower the ceiling for human possiblity, manipulate our own given nature, and destroy the importance of human character, then biotechnology should not be used to pursue human perfection. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnology should not be used to pursue human perfection., Biotechnology enables some people to exercise biotechnical power over others. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnological advancements could contribute to decreased freedom for some people., Man cannot master nature because it is impossible to know the ends of intervention. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnological advancements cannot be considered master of nature since everything in nature is open to any desirable use., Biotechnological enhancements can often be considered cheating. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Humans who supplement discipline with biotechnological enhancements are destroying the importance of character., Humans who supplement discipline with biotechnological enhancements are destroying the importance of character. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnology should not be used to pursue human perfection., If enhancements take the place of effort and self-discipline, they could be considered cheating. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnological enhancements can often be considered cheating., If participants receive an unfair advanage, issues of equality arise. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotech enhancements raise issues of distributive justice., Biotechnology for nontherapeutic uses will lower the ceiling of human possibilities and infringe on individual freedoms. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnology should not be used to pursue human perfection., If nature is not subject to any desirable man-decided use, then we should regard it as a special gift not to be manipulated. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnology advances should not be used to manipulate our own given nature., Biotechnological advancements could contribute to decreased freedom for some people. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Non-therapeutic uses of biotechnology will lead to a conformist society., Biotech enhancements raise issues of distributive justice. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnology should not be used to pursue human perfection., If biotech enhancements are seen as potential cheating, the importance of human character is drastically lessened. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Humans who supplement discipline with biotechnological enhancements are destroying the importance of character., Human beings have a natural desire to overcome limitations. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Human beings who receive biotech enhancements receive an unfair advantage in competition., Non-therapeutic uses of biotechnology will lead to a conformist society. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Biotechnology for nontherapeutic uses will lower the ceiling of human possibilities and infringe on individual freedoms., There is no such thing as a full escape from nature's grip. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Man cannot master nature because it is impossible to know the ends of intervention.
