21 cmISBN: 0-262-54281-1; 978-0-262-54281-4.Résumé : Most people have a strong sense of right or wrong. But when we take a polarizing stance on something we regard as an eternal truth, we often forget that ethics evolve over time. Our great-grandparents might be shocked by in vitro fertilization; our great-grandchildren might be shocked by the messiness of pregnancy, childbirth, and unedited genes. In Right/Wrong, Juan Enriquez reflects on what happens to our ethics as technology makes the once unimaginable a commonplace occurance. With wit and compassion, Enriquez takes on a series of technology-influenced ethical dilemmas, from sexual liberation to climate change to the "immortality" of mistakes on social media. He cautions us to judge those who "should have known better," given today's vantage point, with less fury and more compassion. Judge those in the past as we hope to be judged in the future.
