Italian neuroscientists are ready to start the debate

摘要

SIR - Neurotechnologies such as cognitive enhancement (see Nature 450,1157-1159; 2007 and Nature 451,520-521; 2008) and brain reading are likely to have huge social impact. The ethical problems connected with their expected development demand public discussion in our communities. Neuroscientists should take an active part in this debate, as you commented in your Editorial 'Neuroethics needed' (Nature 441, 907; 2006).
