Omschrijving
Until recently, brains in vats and animals with partly-human brains have been the realm of science fiction, but recent research is making them real. In Disembodied Brains, John H. Evans examines the viewpoints of professional ethicists and scientists on the implications of these new technologies, and how those viewpoints contrast with the fearful intuitions of the general public.

He is the author of six books and over 60 articles examining science, bioethics, and religion. His most recent book is The Human Gene Editing Debate (2020, Oxford University Press).
