Ethics and Bioethics

1.9K
Ethics is a philosophical study of moral actions. Ethics attempts to determine what is valuable for individuals and society. It examines the rational justification of moral judgments and analyzes what is morally just, fair, and right. Bioethics is a sub-discipline of applied ethics that analyzes the philosophical, social, and legal issues in life sciences and medicine. Ethical theories serve as a foundation for decision-making and represent the viewpoints from which people seek direction. They...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Philosophy of Technology
  • Bioethics

Background:

  • Novel neurotechnologies, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and brain-computer interfaces (BCI), present significant therapeutic potential.
  • These advancements also introduce complex ethical considerations regarding human identity, authenticity, and autonomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of neurotechnologies on core human goods like identity, authenticity, and autonomy.
  • To explore the concept of agency as a central phenomenon affected by these neural devices.
  • To propose a framework for understanding the co-agency between users and neurotechnological devices.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent narrative scholarship on neurotechnology and its effects.
  • Philosophical analysis of agency, identity, authenticity, and autonomy in the context of neurotechnology.
  • Application of insights from disability theory to understand neurotechnology as agential assistance.

Main Results:

  • Agency is identified as a critical factor influenced by neurotechnological interventions.
  • Neural devices underscore the inherently relational nature of human agency.
  • A model of co-agency is proposed, where users and devices collaborate in action.

Conclusions:

  • Neurotechnologies necessitate the development of "relational agency-competencies."
  • These competencies include skills for self-reflection on device influence, adaptation to new circumstances, and integration of social feedback.
  • Developing these skills is crucial for navigating the ethical landscape of advanced neurotechnology.
