Description
The ethical assessment of new technologies raises two principal concerns: the need to develop effective policies and legislation, and
the reconsideration of the ethical frameworks in which these policies and laws are developed. The importance of rapid, accurate examinations
of tensions between Philosophy and Law and the relationship between philosophical principles and empirical data has never been greater.
The Concise Encyclopedia of Ethics of New Technologies includes 23 articles previously published in the highly-acclaimed Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics, nine updated articles, and five new articles, commissioned especially for this volume.
Over half of the previously published articles include updated facts and bibliographic citations. Authors of genetics articles have updated
their works to include the most recent developments and publications. New articles include: "Cloning," "Geneticization," "Health Technology
Assessment," "Intrinsic and Instrumental Value," and "Novel Foods."
Audience
This volume will appeal to everyone who bought the Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics, and everyone who could use a shorter
and more focused version. These include public libraries, special libraries, and law libraries that want to maintain a comprehensive
survey of the applied ethics field. Students of philosophy and ethics as well as individuals interested in medical and scientific (or
"bio-") ethics will also find the volume useful.
