Cognitive Enhancement for the Healthy by Carolyn Chapman

“…Healthy high school and college students, as well as working adults, are turning to drugs for cognitive enhancement in increasing numbers. According to a recent national survey, over 6% of college students aged 18-22 reported using Adderall non-medically.1 In another survey of U.S. 12th graders, 4% reported using Adderall and 2% reported using Ritalin—without a doctor’s prescription—in the previous year.2 In a poll of readers conducted by the journal Nature, 20% had turned to pharmaceuticals to improve focus, concentration or memory.3 The NY Times recently published anecdotal accounts of expanding use of stimulants by working adults, and cited a federal report that indicated emergency room visits caused by non-medical use of prescription stimulants tripled from 2005 to 2011.4 Back in 2008, Greely et al. published a Nature paper advocating for a responsible and thoughtful response to the “growing demand for cognitive enhancement.”5 This group of neuroscientists and bioethicists called for more research to evaluate benefits and risks.5 The authors also recommended that physicians give “serious consideration to the ethics of appropriate prescribing of cognitive enhancers” and that medical organizations formulate professional standards and guidelines.5 Greely et al. maintained that competent adults should be able to use drugs for cognitive enhancement, although they did express concern that coercion to enhance cognition might occur directly or indirectly (through, for example, “the need to compete with enhanced classmates and colleagues”).5 They also brought up issues of justice and fairness, and recommended that policies governing the use of cognitive enhancements should avoid exacerbating social inequalities.5 Fast forward to 2015, and the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues (PCSBI) has just released the second volume of a report entitled “Gray Matters: Topics at the Intersection of Neuroscience, Ethics and Society.”6 In many ways, the recommendations regarding cognitive enhancement in this report echo those in the 2008 paper. …”
