Technology Ethics

Extraordinary developments in technology over the past thirty years have transformed human society in profound ways. This has complicated old moral debates and instigated a host of new ethical challenges. The Technology and Ethics Interest Group is designed to (1) provide a location for reflection on critical issues in technology ethics, (2) increase interest in technology ethics among the broader membership of the SCE, (3) increase awareness of the implications of new technologies for other areas of ethical inquiry (e.g., economic ethics, sexual ethics, questions of public discourse, etc.), and (4) explore ways in which distinctively Christian perspectives may contribute to public discourse on technological development.
