BRAIN. Broad Research in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience-Could Neuroenhancement be an Ethical Approach in Social Practice?

<p>Neuroethics is an interdisciplinary field of research aimed at understanding the<br> consciousness and the mind through the relationship between it and the brain's physical support.<br> Among other things, the ethical perspective refers to the acceptability of the practices used to<br> modify human behavior through interventions on the nervous system. Neuroethics research<br> addresses areas such as neuro-imaging techniques, cognitive enhancement and neuro-pharmacology.<br> We will discuss the limits and risks of the neuro-regeneration procedures given by the development<br> of new possible classes and social categories. The article aims to present a theoretical perspective on<br> the possible implications of neuroethics in the practice of social services. The neuroethical approach<br> facilitates a rethinking of the ethical values in the process of ethical evolution of the technologies.<br> The autonomy, a classic concept in bioethics and the post-Kantian traditional ethics, loses its<br> philosophical consistency since any cognitive or ethical enhancement distorts the expressive<br> autonomy and the authentic nature of the moral agency.
