A new American bioethics documentary examines the ethical issues surrounding human enhancement for people with disabilities.

A new American documentary examines the ethical issues surrounding human enhancement for people with disabilities. The documentary, FIXED, contains interviews with a range of physically impaired people, as well as specialists in bioehancement. It presents an exciting picture of technological advance, while at the same time giving voice to scepticism and concerns. Overall the documentary presents the bioehancement project in a favorable light. Some may disagree with its conclusions, but it is a resource for understanding the ethical issues surrounding emerging enhancement technologies.
