Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "lack of imagination" argument suggests that most people have a limited conception of the varieties of goods that can come from genetic enhancement. In other words, we don't have enough imaginative foresight to fully understand the potential benefits and drawbacks of genetic enhancement, and therefore we shouldn't dismiss it outright. The argument doesn't suggest that genetic enhancement is always morally permissible (A), or that nature should always take priority over personal choice (B), or that we should always leave the development of valuable traits up to chance (D).
