Life sciences have huge controversial social implications. In doing
experiments with animals, plants or humans the welfare of these
living beings can be hampered; in communicating research results
private and public interests can be harmed (patents!) or at least
severely influenced; in being a member of a research group issues
of human rights (such as discriminatory behaviour) can become
prominent; individual and collective forms of responsibility
because of controversial types of research can become urgent.
Funding organizations can confront scientists and engineers with
new ethical issues; the public at large or, as is the case with
sustainability, future generations can challenge existing ways of
doing research, and educating and teaching can confront scientists
with new ethical issues.
In this book, resulting from an expert workshop at Wageningen
University and Research Centre, European and American experts
discuss such topics and theories as the relationship between
ethics, professional ethics and business ethics, the public
responsibility of researchers and communicating, organizing,
teaching and discussing ethical issues.
