In light of the potential novel applications of neurotechnologies
in psychiatry and the current debate on moral bioenhancement, this
book outlines the reasons why more conceptual work is needed to
inform the scientific and medical community, and society at large,
about the implications of moral bioenhancement before a possible,
highly hypothetical at this point, broad acceptance, and potential
implementation in areas such as psychiatry (e.g., treatment of
psychopathy), or as a measure to prevent crime in society. The
author does not negate the possibility of altering or manipulating
moral behavior through technological means. Rather he argues that
the scope of interventions is limited because the various options
available to "enhance morality" improve, or simply manipulate, some
elements of moral behavior and not the moral agent per se in the
various elements constitutive of moral agency. The concept of
Identity Integrity is suggested as a potential framework for a
responsible use of neurotechnologies in psychiatry to avoid human
beings becoming orderers and orderables of technological
manipulations.
