Cognitive Enhancement: Treating or Cheating?
Seminars in Pediatric Neurology 22 (3):172-176 (2015)
Abstract
In this article I provide an overview of the moral and medical questions surrounding the use of cognitive enhancers. This discussion will be framed in light of 4 key considerations: (1) is there a difference between therapy and enhancement? (2) How safe are these interventions? (3) Is the use of nootropics cheating? (4) Would enhancers create a further divide of social inequality where only the very wealthy have access to them?My notes
