How to do things with metaphors: engineering life as hodgepodge
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-17 - 2018
Matthew Kearnes, Declan Kuch, Angus Johnston
This paper presents a collaboration between social scientists and a chemist exploring the promises for new therapy development at the intersection between synthetic biology and nanotechnology. Drawing from ethnographic studies of laboratories and a recorded discussion between the three authors, we interrogate the metaphors that underpin what Mackenzie (Futures 48:5-12 2013) has identified as a rec...... hiện toàn bộ
CRISPR as agent: a metaphor that rhetorically inhibits the prospects for responsible research
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-13 - 2018
Leah Ceccarelli
In 2015, a group of 18 scientists and bioethicists published an editorial in Science calling for “open discourse on the use of CRISPR-Cas9 technology to manipulate the human genome” and recommending that steps be taken to strongly discourage “any attempts at germline genome modification” in humans with this powerful new technology. Press reports compared the essay to a letter written by Paul Berg ...... hiện toàn bộ
How should researchers cope with the ethical demands of discovering research misconduct? Going beyond reporting and whistleblowing
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 1-18 - 2020
Knut Jørgen Vie
In this paper, I will argue that making it mandatory to report research misconduct is too demanding, as this kind of intervention can at times be self-destructive for the researcher reporting the misconduct. I will also argue that posing the question as a binary dilemma masks important ethical aspects of such situations. In situations that are too demanding for individual researchers to rectify th...... hiện toàn bộ
Adapt or perish? Assessing the recent shift in the European research funding arena from ‘ELSA’ to ‘RRI’

Is there a duty to participate in digital epidemiology?
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-24 - 2018
Brent Mittelstadt, Justus Benzler, Lukas Engelmann, Barbara Prainsack, Effy Vayena
This paper poses the question of whether people have a duty to participate in digital epidemiology. While an implied duty to participate has been argued for in relation to biomedical research in general, digital epidemiology involves processing of non-medical, granular and proprietary data types that pose different risks to participants. We first describe traditional justifications for epidemiolog...... hiện toàn bộ
Nature is (a) mine: conceptions of nature in the Dutch ecogenomics community
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-16 - 2014
Sanne Van der Hout
Every field of science, but especially biology, contains particular conceptions of nature. These conceptions are not merely epistemological or ontological, but also have normative dimensions; they provide an ethos, a framework for moral orientation. These normative dimensions, whilst often remaining ‘hidden’ and inarticulate, influence the way in which biologists practice their profession. In this...... hiện toàn bộ
Scientific mistakes from the agri-food biotech critics
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2018
Giovanni Tagliabue
Critics of the use of advanced biotechnologies in the agri-food sector (“New Breeding Techniques”, comprising CRISPR) demand a strict regulation of any such method, even more severe than rules applied to so-called “Genetically Modified Organisms” (i.e. recombinant DNA processes and products). But their position is unwarranted, since it relies on faulty arguments. While most life scientists have al...... hiện toàn bộ
Neglected ethical issues in biobank management: Results from a U.S. study
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 1-13 - 2013
R Jean Cadigan, Dragana Lassiter, Kaaren Haldeman, Ian Conlon, Erik Reavely, Gail E Henderson
The empirical literature on the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of biobanking has almost entirely relied on the perspectives of those outside of biobanks, such as the general public, researchers, and specimen contributors. Little attention has been paid to the perspectives and practices of those who operate biobanks. We conducted a study of U.S. biobanks consisting of six in-depth c...... hiện toàn bộ
Young people’s awareness on biobanking and DNA profiling: results of a questionnaire administered to Italian university students
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-12 - 2017
Pamela Tozzo, Antonio Fassina, Luciana Caenazzo
Current policy approaches to social and ethical issues surrounding biobanks manifest lack of public information given by researchers and government, despite the evidence that Italian citizens are well informed about technical and other public perspectives of biotechnologies. For this reason, the focus of our survey was to interview our University’s students on these aspects. The sample consisted o...... hiện toàn bộ
Product, not process! Explaining a basic concept in agricultural biotechnologies and food safety
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-9 - 2017
Giovanni Tagliabue
Most life scientists have relentlessly recommended any evaluative approach of agri-food products to be based on examination of the phenotype, i.e. the actual characteristics of the food, feed and fiber varieties: the effects of any new cultivar (or micro-organism, animal) on our health are not dependent on the process(es), the techniques used to obtain it. The so-called “genetically modified organ...... hiện toàn bộ
