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 (like 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 topics and theories like the relationship between ethics,
professional ethics and business ethics, the public responsibility
of researchers and communicating, organizing, teaching and
discussing ethical issues.
