Human Enhancement

Meaning

Human Enhancement refers to the deliberate use of biomedical interventions, including pharmacological agents or advanced technologies, to improve physical or cognitive functions beyond what is considered typical or necessary for treating a recognized disease state. In the realm of hormonal science, this often involves optimizing sex hormone levels, growth factors, or metabolic regulators beyond the established reference range for maximal performance or longevity. This practice necessitates careful consideration of long-term physiological consequences and ethical boundaries. It aims for supra-normal function rather than restorative equilibrium.
