With this power comes huge responsibility, and ethics in neuroscience concerns its appropriate use. It relates to subjects such as cognitive enhancement, medication, privacy, and morality. Genetic testing is one area of research that carries significant ethical ramifications. Professor Kay Jamison discusses these issues in The Value of Diversity. Another issue that has attracted recent controversy is medication, specifically over-medication. Professor Tom Insel tackles this topic in Under-Medication and Over-Medication. Stem cell research has also generated recent ethical controversy, both as a technique and instr pdboyer Sat, 18 Sep 2010 02:23:07 GMT http://www.satisrevisited.co.uk/difficultdecisions.asp This unit provides a rationale for teaching about ethical issues in science for students age 14–16. The aim is to introduce the idea that the discussion of controversial issues relating to the conduct and application of science involves making decisions about what it is possible to do and about what should be done. In any situation, there is usually more than one option to choose from. Often, a course of action may seem like a good solution, but it may also have some undesirable outcomes. Ethical problems cannot be approached in the same way as scientific ones, since there are no 'theories of morality' that correspond to theories in the sciences. However, this does not mean that ethical problems cannot be the subject of rigorous analysis pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:44:45 GMT http://www.satisrevisited.co.uk/animalresearch.asp In this unit students consider the ethical questions that arise from the conflicts between concern for animal welfare and the need to use animals in some way. The aim is to introduce the idea that the discussion of controversial issues relating to the conduct and application of science involves making decisions. In any situation, there is usually more than one choice available. Often, a course of action may seem like a good solution, but it may also have some undesirable outcomes. pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:40:11 GMT http://www.ngwa.org/public/PYGD/pygd.aspx American Geological Institute special observance on September 14, 2010. pdboyer Mon, 23 Aug 2010 18:21:54 GMT http://www.wellsphere.com/detailedSearch.s?keyword=bioethics pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://bioethics.georgetown.edu/publications/scopenotes/sn38.htm pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT
