Advances in cognitive, affective and social neuroscience are raising a number of new questions about the ways in which neuroscience can and should be used. These advances also challenge intuitions about the nature of humans as moral and spiritual beings. Neuroethics is a new field that is grappling with these issues. This article reviews a range of applications of neuroscience in fields as diverse as marketing, criminal justice and the military. The ethical, legal and social implications of these implications are discussed. Less practical, but perhaps ultimately more consequential, is the impact of neuroscience on our worldview and our understanding of the human person.
