Military technology - 3TU.Centre for Ethics and Technology
Within the field of military technology two apparently opposite trends are evident: on the one hand robots are taking over more and more tasks from servicemen whilst on the other hand the moral weight of the decisions taken by people in the armed forces is increasing. It is anticipated that the United States should have an autonomously operating robot army by the year 2034. Though that may sound like science fiction the developments are moving fast. Some 20,000 are being deployed in Iraq, most of which are flying robots. These are still remote controlled but the first generation of autonomous equipment should be operational by 2015.

"The purpose of ICT in education is generally to familiarise students with the use and workings of computers, and related social and ethical issues.ICT has also enabled learning through multiple intelligence as ICT has introduced learning through simulation games; this enables active learning through all senses."

Three theses give rise to this paper. Firstly, the capability approach is often presented as largely avoiding paternalism and remaining neutral with respect to the good life. Secondly, it can be argued that technology is of immense importance for expanding people’s capabilities. Thirdly, literature in philosophy of technology and in science and technology studies (STS) suggests that technology is not neutral with respect to the good life. Together this raises the question: is the capability approach’s thesis of neutrality towards the good life tenable in a world in which technology enables so many of our capabilities? In order ...

June 2010 marks a decade since the draft human genome sequence was announced. How much of an impact has this development had on genetics, genomics and science in general? What are the ethical and legal issues arising from this work? Chrissie Giles spoke to people who worked on the project then, and those who use the sequence and subsequent research in their work today, to find out. John Sulston is among the few pioneers who, in the 1980s, began to develop the field recognised today as genomics. He and colleagues began a project to sequence the genome of the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, in 1990 - the success of which fed ...
