Hughes in Business Week on obligation to cognitive enhancement

A brief piece on cognitive enhancement in Business Week notes:

If the cost of advanced brain technologies drops quickly and the surgical risks become less dire, people may request brain chips as casually as they receive a shot of Botox. And if that enhances their performance, then customers and clients are bound to share in the benefits. “Don’t we want our medical interns and pilots to have optimal brain function?” asks James J. Hughes, a professor of health policy at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. “Wouldn’t that be an obligation of the job?” It’s a good question for our grandchildren to ponder, with their medically enhanced minds.
