Neuroenhancement and Equal Political Participation

Neuroenhancement technologies, from prescription drugs to brain stimulation, are already used off-label by students and professionals. If such enhancements become common, they might give some citizens an unfair advantage in political participation, undermining the democratic ideal of equal political voice.
