Looking at the ethics of technology for a New Millennium


Director : Dr Donald Bruce



"Top Issue" provides an up to date comment on a contemporary issue in technology, which we change every few weeks.

The current Top Issue is

A Social Contract for Biotechnology - Shared Visions for Risky Technologies?
Future technological developments concerning food, agriculture and the environment face a gulf of social legitimation from a sceptical public and media. This paper examines agricultural biotechnology in terms of a social contract, assessing the conditions which would be necessary to re-establish a measure of public trust against a climate of suspicion. How far new shared visions can be found for future developments in this field?
