The article examines the moral questions that arise from the military use of enhancement technologies and claims that emerging biotechnologies can help improve the attitudes and capabilities of the soldiers without jeopardizing their integrity and humanity. Even if the military use of enhancement technologies is considered ethically justifiable, our conclusion is that soldiers should ever be compelled to take drugs or receive biotechnological treatments they object to.

Abstract

The article examines the moral questions that arise from the military use of enhancement technologies and claims that emerging biotechnologies can help improve the attitudes and capabilities of the soldiers without jeopardizing their integrity and humanity. Even if the military use of enhancement technologies is considered ethically justifiable, our conclusion is that soldiers should ever be compelled to take drugs or receive biotechnological treatments they object to.
