Values That Imperil the Median Trait Barrier
A Different Interpretation of the Value of Justice
At this point in the book I begin engaging some arguments that have not yet appeared but that I anticipate. The strong design of the barrierâits limited susceptibility to slippery slope processesâmeans that toppling the barrier requires the more difficult task of redefining the terrain by changing the values. The most immediate threat to this barrier will come from a different interpretation of what the value of liberal justice requires, which would redefine downslope acts as fair. I repeat the words from the NASEM report, with my emphasis:
[A] problematic enhancement is one that confers a social advantage beyond that which an individual possesses by fate or through personal effort, and that does not benefit the rest of society in any way or undermines the implicit goals of a competition. Using equality of opportunity and societally useful inequality as guides may help distinguish those forms of enhancement that might generally be tolerated (assuming the risks are proportional to the benefits) from those that would be more controversial.81
