Abstract

It is generally thought that science and engineering should never cross certain ethical lines. The idea connects ethics to science and engineering, but it frames the relationship in a misleading way. Moral notions and practices inevitably influence and are influenced by science and engineering. The important question is how such interactions should take place. Anticipatory ethics is a new approach that integrates ethics into technological development.

摘要

人们普遍认为，科学和工程永远不应跨越某些伦理界限。这种观点将伦理与科学和工程联系起来，但它以一种误导的方式构建了这种关系。道德观念和实践不可避免地影响和受科学和工程的影响。重要的问题是这种相互作用应该如何进行。预期伦理是一种将伦理纳入技术发展的新方法。
