Keywords: Ethics of science - Technology assessment
Details: The contributions of science to security, and the security of science itself have rarely, if ever, been more topical than they are now. How can we minimise the possibility of the misuse of biological information? Is the freedom of research reconcilable with increased demands for global security? What is the state of the art in biometrics and the technology of identification of people? How is biological information collected, stored, exchanged and used for the purposes of security? What is the societal impact of and response to such developments and issues?
