Resumo: | Since the end of the xx century, Neuroethics emerged as a new field of interdisciplinary research, with the purpose to reflect on the ethical challenges brought by neuroscientific and neurotechnological latest advances. This article aims to present the main key philosophical questions arising from neuroethics and tries to show how they can be unified in the broad philosophical problem of personal identity. In order to sustain it, this article has three core ideas:1) both the brain and the mind are considered as the birth place of personal identity, as all brain medical manipulation may affect the mind’s nature and content, therefore, it may also affect personal identity; 2) moreover, direct and medical brain manipulation puts into a new perspective the philosophical issue of human freedom and responsibility; 3) finally, since disease may disrupt personal identity, it also raises issues regarding the ethics of physicianpatient relationships. |

Personal identity and neuroethics: the new challenge of PhilosophyIdentidade pessoal e neuroética: o novo desafio da filosofiaSince the end of the xx century, Neuroethics emerged as a new field of interdisciplinary research, with the purpose to reflect on the ethical challenges brought by neuroscientific and neurotechnological latest advances. This article aims to present the main key philosophical questions arising from neuroethics and tries to show how they can be unified in the broad philosophical problem of personal identity.

O presente artigo tem como objectivo apresentar as principais questões filosóficas decorrentes da neuroética e mostrar como podem ser subsumidas no amplo problema filosófico da identidade pessoal. Este artigo procura desenvolver esta perspectiva a partir de três ideias centrais: 1) o cérebro e a mente podem ser considerados a origem da identidade pessoal; como toda a intervenção cerebral pode afectar a natureza e o conteúdo da mente, segue-se que pode alterar a identidade pessoal; 2) por seu turno, a manipulação médica e directa do cérebro coloca, sob uma nova perspectiva, o problema filosófico da liberdade e responsabilidade humana; 3) finalmente, como a doença é factorde desestabilização da identidade pessoal, também levanta problemas relativos à ética da relação médico-paciente.Universidade Católica Portuguesa2008-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/cadernosdesaude.2008.2779https://doi.org/10.34632/cadernosdesaude.2008.2779Cadernos de Saúde; Vol 1 No 2 (2008); 185-189Cadernos de Saúde; v. 1 n. 2 (2008); 185-1892795-43581647-055910.34632/cadernosdesaude.2008.1.2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/cadernosdesaude/article/view/2779https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/cadernosdesaude/article/view/2779/2681Direitos de Autor (c) 2008 Sara Margarida de Matos Roma Fernandeshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFernandes, Sara Margarida de Matos Roma2023-10-03T15:47:31Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/2779Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:32:52.530977Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
