Summary

The preceding chapters work a hunch into an insight: political theory with bioethical ambition, bioethics as political theory, political bioethics. In application, the approach concluded that proceduralism can provide legitimate bioethical decisions (Chapter 1); that global regulatory norms are implausible (Chapter 2); that a political notion of human nature oriented on a political notion of human rights offers a normative standard of potentially wide embrace (Chapter 3); that the future person’s decisional autonomy can function as a regulatory principle at the point of genetically manipulating the embryo (Chapter 4); that equal citizenship requiring a minimum genetic capacity may justify some forms of cognitive engineering (Chapter 5); that political community should never allow artificial intelligence to displace citizens’ mutual taking of responsibility (Chapter 6); that deployment of a pupil’s genetic information to inform personalized education is politically ambiguous (Chapter 7); that a human right to freedom from genetic disability would promote well-being as autonomy (Chapter 8); that epigenetic science offers an additional means of identifying sources of some social inequalities (Chapter 9); and that socially responsible human genetic editing need not be planetarily harmful (Chapter 10).
