Aesthetic medicine – humanistic aspiration or enhancement?
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to consider the issue of modern aesthetic
medicine considered as a humanism or, on the contrary,
as human enhancement. The aim of enhancement is to improve
and expand human possibilities in order to change their nature
eventually. I present arguments for and against the thesis that
aesthetic medicine might be considered as a typical humanistic
aspiration for perfection. I pay close attention to the purpose criterion
of medical practice by analyzing its therapeutic and aesthetic
tasks.
