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.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessaesthetic medicinehumanismenhancementthe purposes of medicineArtykułhttps://doi.org/10.14746/fped.2017.6.1.9
