What science does with human brain is subject to great debate
Posted on
A pregnant woman is suddenly brain-dead: should she be kept alive so her baby can have a chance at life?
Children do poorly in school: should they receive attention-boosting drugs even if not diagnosed with a condition?
Child abuse and neglect have an important impact on brain development: should we re-visit policies around foster care and adoption?
New research shows solitary confinement changes and damages the brain: should society alter its ways of treating hardened criminals?
Questions such as these are more than catchy headlines; they are a testament to the profound impact that brain science has on the world.
