Must, may, can: ethics and science

Science and Ethics: An Intense Interaction
Reflections for thinking and acting
Must, may, can. Lessons for the twenty-first century
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, science has come a long way. Much is possible. But where is the limit? In Must, May, Can, science and ethics exchange ideas about the opportunities and the limits of science today. Who pays the ecological and social price of profitable multinationals? In which field of tension does sport play? Is it responsible to conceive people as we want them? Are international aid operations justified?
How ethical should the future of our society be? Professors from various scientific disciplines give their vision: Arnold Burms, Johan de Tavernier, Bart Vanreusel, Jos Vanderleyden, Ortwin de Graef, Antoon Vandevelde, Lode Berlage, Koen Demyttenaere, Katrien Kesteloot, Luk Bouckaert, Walter van Gerven, Louis Vos and Hugo Roeffaers. They question the scientific evolution of their own research domain and reflect on what must, may and can be done in the 21st century.
Must, may and can. Lessons for the twenty-first century feels the pulse of science. A recent state of affairs in various disciplines indicates the direction for thinking and acting in the future.
