Liberal democracy and moral bioenhancement

Danas se 97% znanstvene zajednice slaže sa tezom da su klimatske promjene posljedica ljudske intervencije na okoliš i prirodu. Sve veća industrijalizacija dovela je do alarmantnog stanja po pitanju klime, posebice u zadnjih nekoliko godina. Neki/e autori/ce primjećuju da liberalne demokracije imaju niz strukturalnih problema koje sprečavaju uspješnu borbu s klimatskim promjenama i smanjenje ispuštanja stakleničkih plinova. Uz to internacionalna fragmentacija, kompetitivnost i manjak uključivosti dovodi do toga da se globalni problemi adresiraju ad hoc i neproporcionalno njihovim stvarnim potrebama. Navedeni problemi, predstavljaju niz izazova liberalnoj demokraciji u borbi sa klimatskim promjenama koje mora čim prije riješiti. Neki filozofi/kinje argumentiraju da usporena i neuspješna borba s klimatskim promjenama ima veze sa našim moralnim sistemom i vremenom u kojem se razvijao. Objašnjavaju da se ljudska vrsta razvila i skoro donedavno živjela u malim, dobro povezanim zajednicama. Unutar takvih zajednica godinama se razvijao i naš moralni sistem pa zbog toga nije u skladu s moralnim problemima s kojima se susrećemo danas u globalnom društvu. Neki filozofi/kinje smatraju da su moralna biopoboljšanja rješenje dok drugi/e kritiziraju moralna biopoboljšanja kao sredstvo spasa.Today, 97% of the scientific community agrees with the thesis that climate change is the consequence of human intervention on the environment and nature. The ever growing industrialization has led to an alarming condition concerning climate, especially in the last couple of years. Some authors notice that liberal democracies have a whole range of structural problems that prevent a successful struggle with climate change and the reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases. In addition, international fragmentation, competitiveness and lack of inclusiveness lead to the fact that global problems are addressed ad hoc and disproportionately to their real needs. The aforementioned problems present a whole range of challenges for liberal democracy when fighting climate change that it needs to resolve as quickly as possible. Some philosophers argue that a slow and unsuccessful struggle with climate change is connected to our moral system and the time when it was developed. They explain that mankind developed out of and, until recently, lived in small, well connected communities. Within those communities our moral system has developed over years, and therefore it is not in accordance with the moral problems we face today in our global society. Some philosophers think that moral bio-improvements are the solution, while others criticize moral bio-improvements as the means for salvation
