The rapid advance of scientific knowledge has raised ethical dilemmas that humankind has never before had to address - questions about the moment when life technically begins and ends or about the morality of genetically designing babies.

Pre-eminent neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga presents the emerging social and ethical issues arising out of modern-day brain science and challenges the way we look at them.
