2 Confusing epigenetic proaction with human enhancement

After making the assertion that “the actual meanswhether neurobiological, psychological, or socialdo not matter very much” in his philosophical analysis of epigenetic proaction, Schleim proceeds to relate my position to the general debate on "human enhancement" (this collection, p. 2). A long discussion follows about this debate that, although quite popular amongst some contemporary philosophers, is here out of context. In the target article, there is no mention of individual cognitive, moral, or performance enhancement, nor any mention of pharmaceutical "smart pills" and so on. The target article does not speak of epigenetic proaction as an individual opt-in/opt-out thing at all, nor does it speak of enhancement. And it certainly does not recommend, as Schleim suggests at the end of his commentary “the attempt to create superhuman beings” (this collection, p. 15). The statement that my theory proposes methods for parents “aimed at rewiring the nervous system of their children for a social aim” (Schleim this collection, p. 10) is a caricature. Perhaps the author has not read the target paper quite thoroughly enough. This would explain why the author does not specifically address any of the scientific issues raised in the paper.
