The unfit brain and the limits of moral bioenhancement / Fabrice Jotterand.

Livre

Jotterand, Fabrice (1967-)

In light of the potential novel applications of neurotechnologies in psychiatry and the current debate on moral bioenhancement, this book outlines the reasons why more conceptual work is needed to inform the scientific and medical community, and society at large, about the implications of moral bioenhancement before a possible, highly hypothetical at this point, broad acceptance, and potential implementation in areas such as psychiatry (e.g. treatment of psychopathy), or as a measure to prevent crime in society. The author does not negate the possibility of altering or manipulating moral behavior through technological means. Rather he argues that the scope of interventions is limited because the various options available to 'enhance morality' improve, or simply manipulate, some elements of moral behaviour and not the moral agent per se in the various elements constitutive of moral agency.
