The final will contain about five questions that need to be answered in a paragraph each. You should be able to:
1. Describe the three definitions of 'normal' that Resnik discusses and why he thinks that each of these definitions can not be used in order to make an ethically significant therapy/enhancement distinction.
2. Describe the goals of medicine as discussed by Resnik, and explain why he believes that enhancement procedures can fit under these goals.
3. Describe how widespread use of enhancement procedures could lead to a number of inequalities in society based on class.
4. Describe Kass's "three obvious objections" to pursuing perfection through biomedical enhancement.
5. Describe how limitation, suffering, and the awareness of death can actually enhance our existence and prepare the way for future generations to take our place.
