Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the debate regarding the use of so-called smart drugs – drugs originally developed for medical purposes, which are used to improve “normal” human cognitive function. Following a brief summary of the currently available empirical data, it focuses on three areas that have been and continue to be most controversial: questions of definition from philosophy of medicine, ethical issues for individuals, and ethical aspects of smart drug use for society.
