HSCI 5401: Ethics in Science and Technology

Science and technology are no longer confined to the rarefied worlds of universities, laboratories, or the research and development departments of high-tech companies. Instead, science and technology pervade our everyday lives in both highly visible and less easily seen ways. In the process, the ethical issues associated with science and technology have come to affect nearly every corner of daily existence. From questions of privacy and the internet, to bioengineering and risk, science and technology in the law, and environmental and technological disasters, the ethics of science and technology may very well have become the ethics of everyday life. By studying historical and contemporary ethical issues in science and technology, we will attempt to uncover how the ethics of science and technology have changed over time, to appreciate the diversity of ethical positions regarding science and technology, and to learn how to better support our own ethical positions. We will also explore how science and technology are products of human choices but at the same time, how science and technology enable and constrain the choices we can make. More Info
