Transhumanism, Disability, and Human Flourishing
Abstract This paper examines radical enhancement and its presupposed concept of morphological freedom from the perspective of current disability studies, revealing the three basic tendencies of a transhumanist anthropology that overemphasizes human rationality, ignores bodiliness, and accentuates individualism, and pointing out that human flourishing is rooted in a pluralistic coexistence that embraces human vulnerability, which underpins the legal regulation of radical enhancement.
