Description

A new term has appeared in the bioethics lexicon, namely neuro, ethics, a term that is beginning to appear regularly in the mainstream neuroscience literature. The introduction of a new term like this conveys a couple of overriding messages. The first is that the ethical issues within neuroscience are distinct from those of all other areas within bioethics. The second is that neuroscience is replete with ethical challenges of momentous dimensions. While I doubt the accuracy of the first of these messages, the second encapsulates challenges we need to take very seriously. These challenges can be resolved into concerns over the degree of control it is now possible to exert over the brains of others, the prospects opened up by the biological enhancement of people's brains--our own as well as other people's--and the prospects of discovering what it is that other people are actually thinking, how they are responding to situations and even what preferences they have in racial, sexual, and political realms. While these concerns stem from a variety of technological developments, and while they overlap in some respects, they all touch a very sensitive nerve: they enable us to peer into what makes individuals what they are and what they stand for. Inevitably, such concerns have theological as well as ethical overtones.
