| Описание: | We can trace the origins of this book back to two sources. The first of these is the place of science and technology within wider society. Science is not value free and we take issue with those who claim that it is so. Almost every new development in biomedical science has social and/or ethical implications. Furthermore, professionals in all fields, including science, are being reminded increasingly frequently of their responsibilities, not just within their own profession but to the wider community. Those responsibilities certainly include professional codes of practice but should also embody an appropriate concern for the way that 'society' makes use of, for example, scientific discoveries and inventions. This introduces the second source of the book. It has grown out of the author work over the last 30 years: teaching undergraduates and postgraduates, involvement in adult education at different levels and engaging with high school students and other young people. |
