Today, I have read two articles concerning the topic of human enhancement. One, a 2013 article on The Atlantic titled "Could Human Enhancement Turn Soldiers into Weapons that Violate International Law"' by Patrick Lin, an associate professor of philosophy at California Polytechnic State University. The two year old .com article goes on to explore possible ethical issues with human enhancement and on how people still have time to enact rules controlling/limiting it before it reaches the theaters of war. The article, both articles actually, have a single graphic at the very top of the article. The apparent purpose of the article is to inform people about the issue and to take a stand. It also contains several useful hyperlinks to relevant material, and it has not been updated. The second article is on The Guardian and is titled "Report raises ethical concerns about human enhancement technologies" by Alok Jha, currently a science correspondent for ITV News. The 2012 .com article goes on to warn about people possibly being forced to take human enhancements by their employers. The article takes a stance that their should be debate about how human enhancements are treated at work. It contains a multitude of useful hyperlinks, to relevant sources and web pages.
