Abstract
The treatment-enhancement distinction draws a line
between services or interventions meant to prevent or cure
(or otherwise ameliorate) conditions that we view as diseases
or disabilities and interventions that improve a condition
that we view as a normal function or feature of members
of our species. The line drawn here is widely appealed
to in medical practice and medical insurance contexts,
as well as in our everyday thinking about the medical
services we do and should assist people in obtaining.
