Moral Bio-Enhancement and the Question of Biopolitics in Afrofuturism
There are discussions regarding the promotion and integration of transhumanist ideas in Africa, aligning with African cultural ethics. One such idea is moral bio-enhancement, which employs pharmacological and genetic technologies to improve moral dispositions. This article mainly emphasizes pharmacological enhancement rather than radical genetic technologies to avoid the significant shifts associated with genetic engineering. Although there is limited literature on moral bio-enhancement in Africa, the article highlights two concerns: first, biopolitics, a futuristic concern about possible outcomes of moral bio-enhancement; and second, the argument that any integration of moral bio-enhancement with African cultural ethics must consider religio-ontological moral determinism. Religio-ontological moral determinism, as part of religio-ontological morality, indicates that morality—whether in predisposition or action—derives not only from biological nature but also from a cosmic–spiritual relationship with forces in Africa. The article further suggests that, to avoid biopolitics, values within African cosmology should be adopted, and it concludes that relationships with spiritual forces are prima facie to moral actions in Africa.
