Inclusive design vs. Treat the pathologyUncertainty #1

“This distinction captures an important way in which adjusting people to the environment may be a less tolerant approach, and less diversity-friendly approach. #norms #diversity #designers #biohacking #transhumanism #participatory culture #treatment”

“

Temporary vs. permanent medical treatmentsUncertainty #2

“People are more inclined to consider procedures, treatments or devices if they know they are not temporally bound. Can simulation do the same thing and an implant? #temporal #reversibility #permanent #unknown #consequences #malleable human”

“

Automatic function vs. Conscious controlUncertainty #3

“Will devices in future operate autonomously? How might we compare autonomous technology to other human unconscious actions, like walking or breathing? #autonomous #control #artificial intelligence #conscious #data #internet of things #connectivity”

“

Changing environment vs. Stable environmentUncertainty #4

“In solving for one problem, we might also require knowledge and practice in other techniques that help to achieve the desired outcome. #assistive #neuroplasticity #stimulation #threshold #composite technologies”

Supportive vs. Core interventionsUncertainty #5

“In solving for one problem, we might also require knowledge and practice in other techniques that help to achieve the desired outcome. #assistive #neuroplasticity #stimulation #threshold #composite technologies”

“

Resilient to change vs. Closed solutionsUncertainty #6

“For a strategy to be resilient, it is crucial to consider what abilities the future could provide, and how the introduction of particular technologies could make an existing technology redundant. ##exclusive #nanomaterials #implant #exposure #magnetic”

“

Enhancement vs. TreatmentUncertainty #7

“This distinction captures the worry that medical professionals often express, namely, that their aim is merely to treat, not to enhance - to bring people back up to the baseline. #assistive devices #modification #norms #disability #disadvantages”

“

Preventative vs. “Fixing”Uncertainty #8

“Advances in genetic screening and editing present potential to "fix' conditions. Is it, in fact, more desirable to focus on preventing these conditions? #gene #therapy #diagnostics #prevention #CRISPR #control #modification #incubation #environment #eugenics”

“

Moral, Medicalised or Neutral interventionsUncertainty #9

“Some see certain conditions as a disease, in which they are medicalised, and others as weakness of will, in which treatments could be considered moralised. #addiction #ethics #lifestyle #conditions #self-diagnosis”
