Neuroethics in frames

Abstract

The rise of neuroscience and neurotechnology seems unstoppable. Each time its therapeutic possibilities and the desire of neuroenhancement become more evident. In this essay we make a descriptive tour of a relatively new hybrid discipline, such as neuroethics, a discipline capable of serving as a deontological framework of the "neuro" professions, also capable of investigating aspects of the human condition traditionally reserved for other areas of knowledge. In addition, taking into account that this "neuro-essentialism" has also reached the film industry, we use science-fiction movies to explain the most important milestones in the neuroscience of ethics, such as the neurobiological origin of free will and moral responsibility.
