520 8  "Unfit for the Future argues that the future of our 
       species depends on our urgently finding ways to bring 
       about radical enhancement of the moral aspects of our own 
       human nature. We have rewritten our own moral agenda by 
       the drastic changes we have made to the conditions of life
       on earth. Advances in technology enable us to exercise an 
       influence that extends all over the world and far into the
       future. But our moral psychology lags behind and leaves us
       ill equipped to deal with the challenges we now face. We 
       need to change human moral motivation so that we pay more 
       heed not merely to the global community, but to the 
       interests of future generations. It is unlikely that 
       traditional methods such as moral education or social 
       reform alone can bring this about swiftly enough to avert 
       looming disaster, which would undermine the conditions for
       worthwhile life on earth forever. Persson and Savulescu 
       maintain that it is likely that we need to explore the use
       of new technologies of biomedicine to change the bases of 
       human moral motivation. They argue that there are in 
       principle no philosophical or moral objections to such 
       moral bioenhancement. Unfit for the Future? challenges us 
       to rethink our attitudes to our own human nature, before 
       it is too late"--Publisher description.
