Jacquelyn Kegley, Are We Our Brains?
New Ethical and Legal Challenges from Neuroscience
 
March 23
 5-6 PM

New technologies in neuroscience can be used to make judgments about moral behavior and moral psychology.  Jacqueline Kegley will question the ethical side of the new neuroscience.  She will discuss assumptions about persons, questions about privacy and informed consent, and the proper use of science and expert judgment in law.
 
Jacquelyn Kegley is Professor of Philosophy at California State University, Bakersfield.  She is the author of many books and articles, including Genuine Individuals and Communities most recently Josiah Royce in Focus (2010).  She has written extensively on bioethics and is an expert in the field of American Philosophy.
