Klappentext Advances in our understanding of the brain and rapid advances in the medical practice of neurology are creating questions and concerns from an ethical and legal perspective. Following a detailed review of various general aspects of neuroethics, the volume contains chapters dealing with a vast array of specific issues such as the role of religion, the ethics of invasive neuroscience research and the impact of potential misconduct in neurologic practice. Much attention is dedicated to problems related to palliative care, euthanasia, dementia and neurogenetic disorders. The final chapters deal with consciousness, personal identity and the definition of death. The volume focuses on practices not only in North America but also in Europe and the developing world. This volume will be of great interest to all neuroscience\neurology professionals, researchers, students, scholars, practicing clinical neurologists, mental health professionals and psychiatrists.
