Bio-Ethics of Innovation

Abstract

The word innovation could mean everything new capable of solving in an easier and better way any problem we find in our lives. Any innovation has always created risks, but specifically, now, the innovation related to the information technology poses major problems because of the pervasiveness everywhere, anytime. It can happen that we are not any more capable of doing very basic things without the help of a computer, and unfortunately, too many persons feel strongly that we can solve the crisis we are living now just by innovating. This chapter explores the bio-ethics of innovation.
