Neuroethics is most commonly understood to be the
bioethics subcategory concerned with
neuroscience and
neurotechnology. However, some philosophers, ethicists, and scientists have increasingly stressed the possibility that neuroscience can shed light on wider ethical questions. Rees and Rose (as cited in "References" on page 9) claim neuroethics is a
neologism that emerged only at the beginning of the
21st century, largely through the
oral and
written communications of
ethicists and
philosophers. They state that neuroethics addresses concerns about the effects neuroscience and neurotechnology will have on other aspects of
human life: namely "personal responsibility",
law, and
justice. Further, they claim that neuroethical problems will become real by the
2020s.
