ETHICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL CONSIDERATION OF THE DUAL USE DILEMMA IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
Seumas Miller & Michael Selgelid
The dual-use dilemma arises in the context of research in the biological
and other sciences as a consequence of the fact that one and the same piece of research
sometimes
has the potential to be used for harmful as well
as good purposes. This book is the first to provide philosophical analysis of the ethical issues and
policy options surrounding dual-use research.
