Biohappiness
Biohappiness is the elevation of utility in humans through biological methods, including germline engineering through screening embryos with genes associated with a high level of happiness, or the use of drugs intended to raise baseline levels of happiness. The object is to facilitate the achievement of a state of "better than well."
Proponents of biohappiness include the philosophical abolitionist David Pearce, whose goal is to end the suffering of all sentient beings; and the Canadian ethicist Mark Alan Walker. Walker has sought to defend biohappiness on the grounds that happiness ought to be of interest to a wide range of moral theorists; and that hyperthymia, a state of high baseline happiness, is associated with better outcomes in health and human achievement.〔Mark Alan Walker, "In Praise of Biohappiness," IEET Monographs No. 2, December 2006, at ieet.org/archive/IEET-02-BioHappiness.pdf〕〔Ronald Bailey, "Freezing or Uploading: Which Road to Immortality Would You Choose?" at http://reason.com/news/printer/121585.html〕
The concept of biohappiness also has its high-profile critics, including Leon Kass, who served on the President's Council on Bioethics during the presidency of George W. Bush.〔Leon Kass, "The Pursuit of Biohappiness," Washington Post, October 16, 2003, at http://www.aei.org/article/19300〕
