engagement is credited with the ability to provide empirical data that identifies areas of contention and consensus on issues with social and regulatory implications that, in turn, can guide appropriate practice and policy. Cognitive enhancement will be used
as a case study to discuss how stakeholder engagement has both advanced our understanding of and contributed to blind spots in the ethics of human enhancement. Successes of stakeholder engagement on the ethics of cognitive enhancement include: (1) delimiting
the boundaries of acceptability, (2) identifying specific areas of contention among stakeholders,</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">and (3) demonstrating ambivalence on some ethical issues. Blind spots that are hindering progress in the area are: (1) minimal representation of diverse
communities among stakeholders, (2) few options for regulation of enhancement, and (3) lack of consensus on who is responsible for regulation. Clarifying the blind spots will require the concerted effort of researchers and policymakers to determine what evidence
is useful and how it can be underpinned by normative work to yield the promised practical impact.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
