520			_aThe rapid advance of scientific knowledge has raised ethical dilemmas that humankind has never before had to address. Questions about the moment when life technically begins and ends or about the morality of genetically desining babies are now relevant and timely. Our ever-incresing knowledge of the workings of the human brain can guide us in the formation of new moral principles in the twenty-first century. In the Ethical Brain, preeminent neuroscientist Michael S. Gazzaniga presents the emerging social and ethical issues arising out of modern-day brain science and challenges the way we look at them. Courageous and thought-provoking–a work of enormous intelligence, insight, amd importance– this book explores the hitherto uncharted landscape where science and society interesect.
