With the improvement of technologies, dreams from the past have become realistic in the near future, one of these technologies is a cognitive enhancement for humans. Currently, there are forms of enhancements such as coffee, Ritalin, and Aderall, which are readily available to the public. There are clear social benefits associated with increasing individuals' cognitive abilities from the beginning to the end of their lives. So it clearly makes sense that everyone would receive these benefits by adopting these improvements and the government should be the one to enforce them, but this is met with great opposition. Assuming the technology is able to create an enhancement that is safe and has no adverse effects, the benefits of superior cognitive abilities are enormous and cover many different desirable outcomes. Those with higher IQs tend to reap social benefits such as better health, better outcomes from educational experiences, and are able to make more complex and difficult decisions to improve their livelihoods. Higher IQ is also associated with greater economic benefits as those with higher IQs are more likely to receive higher education. This also correlates with receiving a more rewarding job with a higher income later in life and being able to use this income to increase one's livelihood. If this drug were cheap it could also eliminate the cost of additional education, which is usually only available to the children of the wealthy in the form of private schooling, tutoring and higher education. By taking cognitive enhancement this can also be a playground for those who cannot afford this extra education. This works well with Rawls's difference principle as it can also help eliminate differences between resources and natural abilities, or intelligence... middle of the paper... IQ. Maybe if the drug gave 20 to the least advantaged, 19 to the next least advantaged, and so on so that everyone reached the same IQ level on the drug, or simply made the drug so that it maxed out at a certain IQ level could satisfy fair equality of opportunity, which has lexical priority over the difference principle. It is quite clear that cognitive enhancement drugs are beneficial both socially and economically to any individual taking the drug in a society and to society as a whole. The government should require all children to take the drug, since requiring the drug from all children is the better option than offering it only to a group of people by making it openly available to those who can afford it, requiring everyone to take it it creates the greatest benefit for society as a whole and also creates the most just distribution.
