In the Preamble to its Constitution in 1948, the World Health Organization defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Enjoyment of the “highest attainable state of health” is a human right. This was also the year of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Against this background, the extreme prospect of human enhancement from a biotechnological point of view lies in the maximal development of artificial intelligence. There is talk of the rights of robots. This session will consider human flourishing and contentment in this cultural and technological context from a Christian point of view. It will ask (a) what is implicit in the belief that humans are created, (b) how the order of fall and redemption affects our expectations of this-worldly contentment and (c) whether eschatological hope throws any light on how we should view human flourishing. It will also explore in the medical/technological context the implications of the belief that the West has moved from a society based on a perception of what makes for the common good to one based on individual rights.
