The ethical assessment of new technologies raises two principal
concerns: the need to develop effective policies and legislation,
and the reconsideration of the ethical frameworks in which these
policies and laws are developed. The importance of rapid, accurate
examinations of tensions between Philosophy and Law and the
relationship between philosophical principles and empirical data
has never been greater.
The Concise Encyclopedia of Ethics of New Technologies includes 23
articles previously published in the highly-acclaimed Encyclopedia
of Applied Ethics, nine updated articles, and five new articles,
commissioned especially for this volume. Over half of the
previously published articles include updated facts and
bibliographic citations. Authors of genetics articles have updated
their works to include the most recent developments and
publications. New articles include: "Cloning," "Geneticization,"
"Health Technology Assessment," "Intrinsic and Instrumental Value,"
and "Novel Foods."
Articles fall into these subject categories:
* Medical Ethics
* Scientific Ethics
* Theories of Ethics
* Environmental Ethics
* Legal Ethics
* Ethical Concepts
