- Child Lock: Neuroenhancing Guardians to Prevent Abuse
- This book defends the ethical and legal use of neurointerventions for prospective parents and other child guardians. Modern neuroscience offers a multitude of tried-and-true and experimental approaches for modifying and controlling human behavior. Society broadly embraces the view that parents ought never abuse their children, that primary school teachers ought never abuse the children in their care, and the like. Yet child abuse is rampant: over 1 billion children annually are victims of physical violence, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Herein, I defend moral neuroenhancement as a moral and legal pre-condition on child guardianship. I argue that prospective parents, fosters, teachers, and other caregivers are under a moral obligation to receive physical abuse-preventing neuroenhancement prior to caring for children, and that this moral obligation should be reflected in law.
