In recent years, a growing number of scientific careers have been
brought down by scientists' failure to satisfactorily confront ethical
challenges. Scientists need to learn early on what constitutes
acceptable ethical behavior in their professions. Ethical Challenges
in the Behavioral and Brain Sciences encourages readers to engage in
discussions of the diverse ethical dilemmas encountered by behavioral
and brain scientists - allowing scientists to reflect on ethical
issues before potentially confronting them. Each chapter is authored
by a prominent scientist, who describes a dilemma, how it was
resolved, and what the scientist would do differently if confronted
with the situation again. Featuring commentary throughout and a
culmination of opinions and experiences shared by leaders in the
field, the goal of this book is not to provide 'correct' answers to
real-world ethical dilemmas. Instead, authors pose the dilemmas,
discuss their experiences and viewpoints on them, and speculate on
alternative reactions to the issues.
