Biomedical Enhancements as Justice

Bioethics, 2013
AbstractBiomedical enhancements, the applications of medical technology to make better those who are neither ill nor deficient, have made great strides in the past few decades. Using Amartya Sen's capability approach as my framework, I argue in this article that far from being simply permissible, we have a prima facie moral obligation to use these new ...

ONE DANGER OF BIOMEDICAL ENHANCEMENTS

Bioethics, 2008
ABSTRACTIn the near future, our society may develop a vast array of medical enhancements. There is a large debate about enhancements, and that debate has identified many possible harms. This paper describes a harm that has so far been overlooked. Because of some particular features of enhancements, we could come to place more value on them than we ...

AI-enhanced biomedical micro/nanorobots in microfluidics

Lab on a Chip
Although developed independently at the beginning, AI, micro/nanorobots and microfluidics have become more intertwined in the past few years which has greatly propelled the cutting-edge development in fields of biomedical sciences.

Love Troubles: Human Attachment and Biomedical Enhancements

Journal of Applied Philosophy, 2014
AbstractIn fascinating recent work, Julian Savulescu and his various co‐authors argue that human love is one of the things we can improve upon using biomedical enhancements. Is that so? This article first notes that Savulescu and his co‐authors mainly treat love as a means to various other goods.

Biomedical Applications of Enhanced Backscattering Spectroscopy

CLEO:2011 - Laser Applications to Photonic Applications, 2011
Enhanced Backscattering Spectroscopy enables minimally invasive measurement of optical properties of biological tissues by characterizing the shape of backscattered light in both angle and spectrum. The peak in scattering intensity in the retroreflection direction depends on the scattering properties of a random medium including mean free path ...

Gradient-Based Enhancement Attacks in Biomedical Machine Learning

2023
The prevalence of machine learning in biomedical research is rapidly growing, yet the trustworthiness of such research is often overlooked. While some previous works have investigated the ability of adversarial attacks to degrade model performance in medical imaging, the ability to falsely improve performance via recently-developed "enhancement attacks"

Location-enhanced syntactic knowledge for biomedical relation extraction

Journal of Biomedical Informatics
Biomedical relation extraction has long been considered a challenging task due to the specialization and complexity of biomedical texts. Syntactic knowledge has been widely employed in existing research to enhance relation extraction, providing guidance for the semantic understanding and text representation of models.

The Tragedy of Biomedical Moral Enhancement

Neuroethics, 2016
In Unfit for the Future, Ingmar Persson and Julian Savulescu present a challenging argument in favour of biomedical moral enhancement. In light of the existential threats of climate change, insufficient moral capacities of the human species seem to require a cautiously shaped programme of biomedical moral enhancement.

Enhancing biomedical concept extraction using semantic relationship weights

International Journal of Data Mining and Bioinformatics, 2013
Scientific publications are often associated with a set of keywords to describe their content. Automating the process of keyword extraction and assignment could be useful in indexing electronic documents and building digital libraries. In this paper we propose a new approach to biomedical Concept Extraction (CE) using semantic features of concept ...
