About this Cambridge Elements Series

Bioethics and neuroethics play pivotal roles in today’s debates in philosophy, science, law, and health policy. With the rapid growth of scientific and technological advances, their importance will only increase. This series provides focused and comprehensive coverage in both disciplines consisting of foundational topics, current subjects under discussion and views toward future developments. 

Elements in this series will address areas in which these fields overlap as well as where each is distinctive.
