Ethical Aspects of the Abuse of Pharmaceutical Enhancements by Healthy People in the Context of Improving Cognitive Functions

This article explores the ethical issues of healthy individuals using pharmaceutical cognitive enhancers like modafinil to boost focus and performance. It raises concerns about fairness, social pressure, personal authenticity, and health risks, arguing that such use may deepen inequality and normalize drug use for non-medical purposes. The authors call for public education, regulation, and further research to address the societal and ethical challenges posed by cognitive enhancement.
