Human Enhancement DrugsPublic health faces a new kind of drug problem with the growing
prevalence of so–called ‘enhancement drugs’ that have the potential to improve human attributes and abilities. The widespread availability of such drugs has generated a new and growing audience of users. People are seeking out enhancement drugs in a quest to improve their bodies and minds—to look younger and more beautiful, to be stronger, happier and more intelligent. These types of drugs share a few similarities with recreational or addictive drugs—such as heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and ‘legal highs’—but also attract people who do
not necessarily perceive themselves as ‘drug users’ and are vulnerable to cultural pressures to optimise their bodies.
