The Duty to be Morally Enhanced [PDF]

Topoi, 2017
We have a duty to try to develop and apply safe and cost-effective means to increase the probability that we shall do what we morally ought to do. It is here argued that this includes biomedical means of moral enhancement, that is, pharmaceutical, neurological or genetic means of strengthening the central moral drives of altruism and a sense of justice.

A second species of non‐crocodyliform crocodylomorph from the Late Triassic fissure deposits of southwestern UK: Implications for locomotory ecological diversity in Saltoposuchidae

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Late Triassic–Early Jurassic fissures of the Bristol Channel area (southwest England and south Wales) are renowned for their diverse vertebrate faunas. These assemblages have yielded an array of predominantly small‐bodied forms that are crucial to our understanding of the early evolution of several major tetrapod clades.

Using artificial intelligence thanabots as “thanatobots” to assist anatomy learning and professional development: Ghosts masquerading as opportunity?

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Thanabots—AI‐generated digital representations of deceased donors—could enhance anatomy education by linking medical history with anatomy and fostering humanistic engagement. However, their use poses ethical questions and carries psychological risks, including issues around consent, authenticity, and emotional harm.
