Which would be acceptable: the athlete who may one day get "neuroenhancement" to boost performance, or the SAT-taking student who does the same thing before the test? How will powerful brain imaging technologies affect the ideas of privacy and of self-incrimination? Such questions are rapidly emerging as new discoveries in neuroscience raise difficult personal and societal ethical dilemmas. Michael Gazzaniga, widely considered to be the father of cognitive neuroscience, investigates some of these most controversial and complex issues. Engaging and readable, The Ethical Brain is a groundbreaking volume about neuroscience's loaded findings and their ethical implications-an incisive and thoughtful analysis of deep issues confronting modern society at the dawn of the twenty-first century.
