    Therefore, producing better-than-normal damage resistance... — Carmelics

    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Genetic vaccines that provide better-than-normal damage resistance are permissible as treatments, not enhancements, if they target predictable muscle damage

    Therefore, producing better-than-normal damage resistance cannot be classified as treatment even when targeting a predictable pathological risk.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Treatment addresses deficits below species-typical functioning; enhancement creates capabilities above the normal range.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Preventive interventions targeting future disease risks differ categorically from corrective ones addressing present pathology.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The treatment/enhancement distinction requires comparing outcomes to normal baselines, not to absent disease states.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Predictable pathological risk means the condition is medically relevant; preventing foreseeable harm is quintessentially treatment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Labeling something 'enhancement' because it exceeds normal function ignores that preventing disease IS the medical goal.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The distinction collapses when interventions address vulnerability to pathology—motivation and outcome matter more than degree.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
