Neuroscience is advancing rapidly, offering profound insights into the human brain while raising complex ethical questions. Neuroethics sits at the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, and policy, addressing dilemmas such as cognitive enhancement, brain privacy, and the ethics of neurotechnology. Here, we particularly address how neuroethics applies to neurodegenerative disorders.
What are the implications of early diagnosis? How do we balance innovation and treatment with patient autonomy, especially as cognitive decline affects decision-making? What are the societal and moral consequences of genetic screening or neurotechnology for these conditions? Join this Bangor University webinar for an introduction to these complex societal challenges.
