Abstract

If during 20th century genetics turned into the “starscience” par excellence, it is not a risk to state that, in the current century, neurosciences have the pretension to turn into the sciences of the future, aimed to decipher the most important continent to explore: The human brain. This paper analyses the relations between neurosciences and ethics. It is very transcendental issue, given the importance of ethics for human being but also given its epistemological and ideological consequences.
