This edited book on ethics represents the outcomes of an international collaborative project that examined the role and place of bioethics in science and techlogy curricula. As science and techlogy advance, ethical issues increasingly are brought to the fore t only both for scientists and techlogists but also for the general public. Science and techlogy education also reflects this shift and thinking and teaching about ethics in the school curriculum has increased. A greater emphasis is being placed on society's general scientific and techlogical literacy and this includes an understanding of socio-scientific issues including ethical decision-making. Although this book has a focus on ethics in the school science and techlogy curriculum, we believe it will also prove useful for those thinking about ethical decision making in a range of contexts outside of the school sector. The book will prove useful for University lecturers, teachers, curriculum developers and policy makers and those that are involved in science and techlogy decision making more broadly.
