Human enhancement technologies

Human enhancement technologies (HET) are techniques that can be used not simply for treating illness and disability, but also for enhancing human characteristics and capacities.[4] The expression "human enhancement technologies" is relative to emerging technologies and converging technologies.[5]
Human enhancement technologies may sometimes be regarded as anti-ableist technologies.
