Description
"This volume brings together top authors from the fields of risk, philosophy, social sciences and psychology to address the issue of how we should decide to what extent technological risks are morally acceptable. The underlying principles are examined, along with methodological challenges, public involvement and instruments for democratization. A strong theoretical basis is complemented by a range of case studies from some of the most contentious areas, including medical ethics and GM crops."--Jacket.
