Genetic Engineering

Ethical Questions

Over the last decade there has been mounting public interest in genetic engineering and the potential and pitfalls of associated emerging technologies. These technologies promise much, potentially even treatments for brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, and yet genetic modification of the brain is something many would feel uneasy about, despite the horrors it tries to mitigate. 'Neuro-genetic engineering' may slip over into other areas, including psychological therapy and cognitive enhancements, changing the way society views its minds forever.

Overview

In our human practices, we aim to not only consider the implication of our proposed treatments for Alzheimer’s patients and AD as a disease, but to also explore other possibilities in neuro-genetic engineering, consider the ‘neuro-ethicality’ and social...

Over the last decade there has been mounting public interest in the emergence of genetic modification (GM) technologies, and a great deal of thought has been devoted to determining its risks, rewards, and overall impacts on society. These technologies promise a great deal, perhaps even treatments for brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's, where more conventional approaches have hit a dead end.
