Reviews

From the reviews: <p> Written jointly by the study group, this book provides the groupa (TM)s ethical, legal, and social analyses, as well as its recommendations for preliminary guidelines and further study. a ] The authors do a commendable job of reviewing analyses by other scholars and recommendations by expert panels in several other countries a ] . The authors have written thoughtful and though-provoking analyses of several important issues in neuroethics that deserve careful study by clinicians, scientists, philosophers, and policy-makers. (James L. Bernat, New England Journal of Medicine, November, 2007) <p> This book undertakes to examine the expected outcomes of intentional interventions in the brain. a ] The clear structure of the voluminous book allows to use it as a reference book a ] . The entire book gives a sober analysis of the techniques at stake; the discussion of conceptual and ethical problems is written in a clear and structured way, helping readers to form their own opinions on brain interventions which are meant to enhance human beings. (Jan-Christoph Heilinger, Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, Vol. 10 (4), 2007) <p> The authors undertake a comprehensive and advanced analysis of current and approaching neuro-interventions, as well as an extensive discussion of the moral and legal questions about these interventions. a ] The book is directed at anyone with a background in neuroscience who is also interested in its ethical dimensions. a ] The book is remarkably sophisticated both in terms of its scientific exposition and philosophical analysis, a combination that is rare. (Erica Rangel, Doody's Review Service, August, 2007)
