Recent advances in the brain sciences have dramatically improved
our understanding of brain function. As we find out more and more
about what makes us tick, we must stop and consider the ethical
implications of this new found knowledge. Will having a new biology
of the brain through imaging make us less responsible for our
behavior and lose our free will? Should certain brain scan studies
be disallowed on the basis of moral grounds? Why is the media so
interested in reporting results of brain imaging studies? What
ethical lessons from the past can best inform the future of brain
imaging? These compelling questions and many more are tackled by a
distinguished group of contributors to this volume on neuroethics.
The wide range of disciplinary backgrounds that the authors
represent, from neuroscience, bioethics and philosophy, to law,
social and health care policy, education, religion and film, allow
for profoundly insightful and provocative answers to these
questions, and open up the door to a host of new ones. The
contributions highlight the timeliness of modern neuroethics today,
and assure the longevity and importance of neuroethics for
generations to come.
