When good science can turn out bad: Addressing dual-use issues in bioethics education.

Dual-use dilemmas are increasingly apparent in the life sciences, especially in fields that rely on an engineering and interdisciplinary approach. Based on recent accounts of dualuse in science and on the notion of the social responsibility of scientists, this viewpoint highlights the importance of raising scientists' awareness of potential misuse of their work through education. In the light of existing literature and teaching materials, this contribution also makes a number of recommendations on how to address dual-use issues in bioethics education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
