This article discusses Neuroethics, one of the youngest disciplines to have branched out from the original bioethics, which has been called “ethics of the brain sciences”. Neuroethics views the brain as the seat of our humanity and personality, dealing with ethical, legal and social questions that arise when scientific findings about the brain are taken into medical practice and into the interpretations of the law, healthcare and society’s guidelines. In summary, it is the ethics of neurosciences.
