From Science Technology to Science Ethics, Easier and Interesting Science Stories Found in Our Daily Lives
Problems caused by science and technology, for example, development of military weapons, such as atomic bombs, and environmental pollution, are having an effect across society, not confined to the science area. Thus, there is a growing need for the entire members of society who enjoy fruits of science to understand science and technology correctly and to proactively respond to ethical and other problems accompanied with science research.
This book not only gives knowledge on the latest science and technology such as stem cell research, development of renewable energy, controversies over vaccine and harmful effects of endocrine disruptors, but also allows readers to think about how to understand and deal with a number of ethical problems raised by the development of science technology. With various examples such as the eugenics-based horrors of the Holocaust, the market-oriented companies hidden in science to advertise mild cigarettes and alcohol, and the inconvenient truth that the development of technology does not guarantee happiness for all, this book helps readers naturally pay attention to science and technology issues of the modern society
