The term neuroethics defines the bioethics field that deals with the dilemmas
arising from the development of the neurosciences. Why are we so sensitive to
ponder on neuroethics? Because it involves the brain, the organ responsible for
our perceptions, our thoughts, and our conscience; and its knowledge and/or
manipulation entail the most genuine and nontransferable aspects of the human
being. Since 2002, neuroethics has been recognized as a new discipline that
offers an area of consideration for neuroscientific knowledge and the actions
regarding human beings as individuals, and the society as an organization. Within
its framework, we can distinguish two branches: fundamental neuroethics and
applied neuroethics. Neuroethics demands that we are on alert, and we offer the
possibility of interdisciplinary exchange programs, encouraging society to
participate, promoting the ethical opinions, and even working with anticipation
on the dilemmas that are already emerging. Science does not stop, and its
development has acquired such an accelerated pace that there has not been enough
time to discuss its processes. We are convinced that neuroethics will be for the
21(st) century, what genetics was for the 20(th) century.
