Exceeding the Ordinary: Embracing Progress in Healthcare

In a culture obsessed with youth, beauty, and success, enhancement technologies offer the promise of a better life. From cosmetic surgery to prescription drugs, people are increasingly turning to technology to improve their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

But what are the ethical, social, and cultural implications of this quest for enhancement?

This book delves into the complex world of enhancement technologies, exploring their pervasiveness in American society and the profound impact they are having on our lives. We examine the history of enhancement, from its early roots in medicine to its current status as a multi-billion dollar industry. We also explore the role of media and advertising in shaping public attitudes towards enhancement, and the impact of enhancement on our relationships, our workplaces, and our military.

One of the most significant aspects of enhancement is its impact on our sense of identity. In a culture that values youth, beauty, and success, many people feel pressure to enhance themselves in order to meet these ideals. This can lead to a distorted sense of self, as people strive to conform to unrealistic standards. Additionally, the availability of enhancement technologies can exacerbate existing inequalities, as those who can afford to enhance themselves may gain an unfair advantage over those who cannot.

The ethical implications of enhancement are also profound. Some people argue that enhancement is a form of cheating, giving those who use it an unfair advantage over those who do not. Others argue that enhancement is a personal choice, and that people should be free to modify their bodies as they see fit. Still others worry that enhancement could lead to a slippery slope, where people are constantly striving to improve themselves, never satisfied with who they are.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of enhancement in America, and offers a glimpse into the future of this rapidly changing field. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the ethical, social, and cultural implications of enhancement technologies.
