Bioethical questions have a crucial role both in people’s personal choices and in the political domain.
The aim of this booklet is to introduce you to the main controversies in contemporary bioethics, especially to those concerning the intersection between ethics and technology. At the end of reading the booklet, you will be equipped with the conceptual tools required to understand the main debates in ethics and technology and the most relevant positions in the debate. Hopefully, you will be also able to take your own stance on these subjects.
As you see this booklet is organised around five themes: artificial intelligence, robotics, human enhancement, [genetic] engineering and environmental ethics and developments in neuroscience. Particular attention will be paid to the “controversies” over these topics, and different examples will be brought forth.
