SIENNA infographic: Human enhancement

Enhancement technologies include devices and procedures that can alter the human body and boost and/or change the workings of the human mind. Now and in the future. These technologies have different applications, that bring many benefits but that also raise concerns. Changing the body in terms of physical and cosmetic aspects, and possibly in the future also increasing longevity. They also have the potential to change our minds in terms of affective, cognitive and moral aspects. This infographic outlines what the impacts will be, in terms of both benefits and risks, who will be affected, and how SIENNA will help address some of these issues by analysing the legal, ethical, social & economic impacts of human enhancement, connecting with citizens to understand their concerns via surveys in 11 countries & panels in 5 countries, consulting experts and discussing ethical & human rights issues, and developing ethical codes & protocols.
