Background:
Neuroethics is a subsection of ethics which allows us to express our concerns with advances in neurotechnology, threat to human race, our freedom of expression, autonomy, and justice.
Objectives:
Aim of the review is to familiarize readers about the concept of neuroethics and alarming threats with newer neurotechnology and to sensitize them about our responsibilities as neuroscientists.
Materials And Methods:
Systematic literature search was conducted from 2010 to 2021 in PubMed to look at previously published review articles related to neuroethics. Relevant filters were added addressing autonomy and consent. Of the 426 articles, only 12 addressed the issue of autonomy and neuroethics and two on consent and neuroethics.
Results And Conclusions:
International literature has expressed limited concern on the scope of neuroethics. Newer threats are getting added on with advancing technology, and as neuroscientists, we all need to understand and educate neuroscientists about our social responsibilities in curtailing an out-of-reach situation for the mankind.
