When medical breakthroughs outpace our moral frameworks
In short: As science pushes into realms once considered science fiction, we face a growing anxiety about the motives and wisdom behind rapid innovation. This lecture explores the ethical friction between technological progress and human values.
Roger Kneebone examines the profound implications of cutting-edge advancements in robotics, personalized medicine, transplantation, and artificial intelligence. He addresses the tension between dizzying scientific speed and the societal need for ethical oversight in healthcare.
The discussion matters because it moves beyond technical feasibility to ask what these tools mean for doctors, patients, and society at large. It highlights how unprecedented medical possibilities require a corresponding evolution in our moral understanding.
