Brain reading
Technological advancements are a case of postmodernism with multiple sectors benefiting from emerging developments. Neuroscience captures brain reading owing to innovations using computer science that has been used in the India legal system. The mentioned case and transformation in the understanding of biology/genetics in contemporary psychology brings into play the aspect of ethical laws and moral standards.
The technological improvements to read brain patterns establishing a line of thought or intentions are indeed revolutionary; however, the question on implementation can’t be overlooked. A woman in India suffered a conviction of murder following such plots establishing familiarity with circumstances surrounding the poisoning of her ex-fiancée through EEG. Such investigative practices issue the question on ethical issues as human thought is a fundamental right of humanity. The underlying problem that brings the moral question is that the imaging of the brain to read patterns and make inferences shows a lack in actually proving that it translates into behaviour.
Contemporary psychology exhibits factors such as transformation in biology/genetics that affects the development of ethical laws and moral standards. The world is transforming subject to innovations with the biological field establishing new techniques such as “whole-genome sequencing, noninvasive prenatal genetic testing, and optogenetics” that showcase changes in the study of behavioural genetics. The arising plots illicit cases of social concerns as they engage fields such as childbearing, learning, and criminal justice systems. Some of the controversies include the right to create which religious norms dictate is an aspect of tussling with a supreme being and the potential disproportionate effects regarding vulnerable groups such as the unborn and children.
Biology showcases the incorporation of technological advancements in neuroscience and genetic modifications which create the question on ethical laws and moral standards. The changes require policymakers to establish impactful policies to guide around implementation as it is an issue of social concern.
