Exploring the intersection of law and personal morality, this book delves into various legal domains such as criminal, tort, contract, family, and medical law. It critically analyzes whether current laws aim to enhance ethical behavior, the specific moral standards they uphold, their effectiveness, and the legitimacy of morality as a legal objective. Through this examination, the text raises important questions about the role of law in shaping individual ethics and the implications of moral enhancement technologies.
