Abstract:
The rise and continuous evolution of human enhancement technology， on the one hand， promotes the improvement of multiple human abilities， and on the other hand， gives rise to the risk of human alienation caused by instrumentation and self-objectification of human individuals. Under the perspective of human destiny that has been enhanced to alienation， human enhancement technology has produced profound ethical dilemmas in terms of freedom， equality， and dignity. By balancing instrumental rationality and value rationality to achieve the reconstruction of technological rationality， building a “people-oriented” technological ethical framework to realize the restoration of human care， and promoting technological governance and fair distribution to achieve the improvement of the social coordination mechanism， it can help resolve the ethical dilemmas caused by human enhancement technology and reach a harmonious environment between technological progress and human values.
