      abstract = {This book offers the policy-maker or decision-maker key  insights and practical information regarding the features  of ethics frameworks best suited to the ethical assessment  of human cognitive enhancement (HCE) applications, such as  pharmaceutical cognitive enhancers and noninvasive brain  stimulation techniques. This book takes as its departure  point the entrenched philosophical debate between opponents  and proponents of HCE and the increased feasibility of some  applications of HCE. Recent calls for policy-making in the  area of human enhancement reflect the need to find a  balance between addressing current ethical issues and  issues that are more speculative in nature or are  underpinned by abstract philosophical concepts. Practical  ethical approaches for policy or decision-making should  enable the development of an evidence base for the risks  and benefits of HCE applications. Moreover, such practical  approaches should also incorporate a broader range of value  bases that would facilitate convergence regarding certain  decisions and judgements. This book identifies and evaluate  tools that help us to go beyond polarised philosophical  debates in order to assist practical decision makers in  concrete ethical deliberation and decision-making. The  focus is on systematic methods with which to identify  relevant ethical values and assess the impacts of an HCE  application on those values in order to facilitate  decision-making regarding the ethical acceptability or  desirability of the application.},
