About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

UK public debate about science and technology

The UK public is being invited to have their say on the future of science and technology. Sciencehorizons, a government funded program, is trying to launch a debate that will engage not only scientists, but the public at large. In view of future ethical debates that will arise due to advances in science, the government aims to let people make informed decisions about how to use and develop technology and scientific discoveries. The site is rather playful, with downloads of stories and cartoons about life in 2025, and covers things like intelligent materials, heathcare and human enhancements. more
