On medicine and health enhancement - Towards a conceptual framework
Medicine, Healthcare and Philosophy 1 (1):5-12 (1998)
| Abstract | This paper contains an attempt at constructing a semantic framework for the field of health enhancement. The latter is here conceived as an extremely general category covering the whole area of health care and health promotion. With this framework as a basis I attempt to define the place of medicine within the enterprise of health enhancement. I finally indicate some normative issues for the future, in particular problems and possible developments for medicine as a species of health enhancement | |||||||||
