Bioethics researchers participate in a book on neuroethics and neurorights

Through this work, doctors María Elizabeth de los Ríos and David Cerdio seek to establish a reflective bridge between bioethics and neurosciences.

Dr. María Elizabeth de los Ríos Uriarte, Research Coordinator of the School of Bioethics, and Dr. David Cerdio Domínguez, student of the Doctorate in Applied Bioethics and coordinator of the Anahuac Center for Strategic Development in Bioethics (CADEBI), participated in the book Bioethics, neuroethics and neurorights: Realities and perspectives in the XXI century.

This work establishes a reflective bridge between bioethics and neurosciences with the aim of assessing the risk of neurotechnologies and the proposals that, from neuroethics and law, are promoted to face it.

It also addresses the anthropological bases of the relationship between neurosciences and neurotechnologies, ethical problems related to cognitive and moral bioimprovement, care for the elderly and the incidence of neurotechnologies in the proposal of neurorights that lead to the redefinition of content and scope of human rights.
