  • Is Science Compatible with Free Will?

    Exploring Free Will and Consciousness in the Light of Quantum Physics and Neuroscience

    Edited by Peter Adams, Antoine Suarez ...
    Anyone who claims the right ‘to choose how to live their life’ excludes any purely deterministic description of their brain in terms of genes, chemicals or environmental influences. For example, when an author of a text expresses his thoughts, he assumes that, in typing the text, he governs the firing of the neurons in his brain and the movement of his fingers through the exercise of his own free ...

    Exploring the Status of Embryos, Stem Cells and Human-Animal Hybrids

    Edited by Antoine Suarez, Joachim Huarte ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The central question of this book is whether or not particular cell entities of human origin ought to be considered human beings. The answer is crucial for making moral decisions for or against research and experimentation. Experts in the field discuss the production of embryonic-like pluripotent stem cells by altered nuclear transfer, parthenogenesis and reprogramming of adult somatic cells. They ... Read more
