Book Description

The past 20 years have seen unparalleled advances in neurobiology, with findings from neuroscience being used to shed light on a range of human activities - many historically the province of those in the humanities and social sciences - aesthetics, emotion, consciousness, music. Applying this new knowledge to law seems a natural development - the making, considering, and enforcing of law of course rests on mental processes. However, where some of those activities can be studied with a certain amount of academic detachment, what we discover about the brain has considerable implications for how we consider and judge those who follow or indeed flout the law - with inevitable social and political consequences. There are real issues that the legal system will face as neurobiological studies continue to relentlessly probe the human mind - the motives for our actions, our decision making processes, and such issues as free will and responsibility. This volume represents a first serious attempt to address questions of law as reflecting brain activity, emphasizing that it is the organization and functioning of the brain that determines how we enact and obey laws. It applies the most recent developments in brain science to debates over criminal responsibility, cooperation and punishment, deception, moral and legal judgment, property, evolutionary psychology, law and economics, and decision-making by judges and juries. Written and edited by leading specialists from a range of disciplines, the book presents a groundbreaking and challenging new look at human behaviour.

Book Description

"Maybe the odds are against the cases being connected, but I'd hate to find out that it was some contagious, horrible disease."

Spring break is prime time for R&R, fun in the sun, and all things low-key. So when Jenna Blake goes to Florida with her roommate, Yoshiko, the last thing she's expecting to find is another mystery. Well, you can take the girl out of the ME's office, but....A series of seemingly natural deaths turn out to be suspicious when each of the bodies proves to have mysterious growths of some kind. Needless to say, despite Yoshiko's concerns that her roommate is missing the point of a vacation, Jenna can't stay away from this case.

After autopsies, another common denominator among the victims presents itself. And when further research reveals similar deaths in other states, Jenna starts to wonder if the deaths were indeed natural. As the body count climbs, Jenna's break gives way to a dangerous chase. With Slick and Danny back in Massachusetts, Jenna has only herself to rely on...for survival.

Have a Fun Spring Break, Jenna Blake.......2004-05-20

Spring Break is finally here, meaning that medical examiner assistant, and amateur sleuth, as well as busy college freshman, Jenna Blake, can finally take a break from everything, and be a normal teenager. Not to mention having the chance to get a little R&R. So Jenna heads to Florida with her roommate, Yoshiko. Who knew that death was going to follow her? Jenna is plagued with viewing a series of seemingly natural deaths, but when looked into further, it is easy to see that each of the bodies has a bunch of mysterious growths of some kind in their brains. With tons of begging and prodding from Yoshiko to stay away from the case, Jenna can't help herself, and is soon emerged in solving the mystery. After countless autopsies, and information about similar deaths in other states, curious Jenna begins wondering if the deaths were truly natural. Now, as the body count begins to climb, Jenna begins wondering if she could be the next to go. And with Danny and Slick back in Massachusetts, Jenna starts to realize that she has only herself to rely on.

As someone who has enjoyed every book in the BODY OF EVIDENCE series, I am happy to report that this one was just as good as the previous installments. Jenna is feistier, more daring, and more curious in BRAIN TRUST than she has been in the previous books. I'm guessing that it's because she doesn't have anyone out in Florida to help her solve the case, and to protect her from the evil that is lurking. As many previous reviewers have stated, this is the last book in the series. However, that is not true, as there will be two new BODY OF EVIDENCE books released in late 2004. I only hope that they are half as good as the last eight. Which I'm sure they will be. Don't miss BRAIN TRUST!

A good book but.....I have a few qualms.......2003-01-07

I really hope this wasn't the last one, though I'm sure it is, and I'm sad to see the series go. In some ways, I suppose it was a good way to end off the series, but I really think that Golden could have ended the series better, it leaves you hanging, really, and why do that when the series is OVER??? It nearly drove me insane. The book is one of those FBI books, which I normally do not care much for, but of course, Christopher Golden wrote it and so of course it was good. Brain Trust is slower to start, but it is enticing and an extremely good read. I do have a few qualms with the plot line, or so "the plague", seemed almost too far-fetched- no, not far fetched, it was weaker than other Golden books. Even with that, Brain Trust is a good book and you should all read it!

Food for Thought.......2002-04-12

I read this novel cover to cover in the middle of a department store. While people shopped for shoes and such all around me, I was engrossed in the sun, the fun, the action, the FBI, the final shootout and the copout. The setting of Hawai'i gave me flashbacks to One West Waikiki. I liked letting Jenna relax, freeing her and Yoshiko from the typical college setting.

Where some books have tried to make Intimidating FBI Men and failed, Golden has succeeded. The villains of the piece were creepy without having to be supernatural, superstrong, anything but humans to do it. Instead, it showed that their callous, detached, cold nature due to being in the "shadow" industry removed their humanity to an extent. The ending, without spoiling it, was very Law & Order.

The quality of BoE is above and beyond most suspense novels - and it continues throughout the series, versus other series which lose the moomentum after a few books, or series in which the books become carbon copies.

Golden and Hautala did not plan on this being the final BoE novel; the series contract simply hasn't been renewed yet. If you love these books as much as I do, write a letter to Pocket Books!

Fascinating discussions.......2004-10-30

The twenty-first century will see breathtaking advances in genetics, artificial intelligence, physics, mathematics, and neuroscience. In fact, there is not one field of science or technology that will not significant strides in this century, this being due not only to the increasing number of scientists but also to the amount of cross-fertilization between fields. Contemplating and witnessing these developments is exhilarating, and being alive in this century is every technophile's dream. All change however brings dangers as well as delights, and it always has legal and political ramifications.

Genetic engineering in particular has caused a lot of concern in the world citizenry, and has even become a major issue in the current presidential campaign. Many are terrified by the prospects of genetic engineering to be sure, but others believe that its dangers pale in comparison to those arising from current developments in neuroscience. A recent article in a major business journal spoke of neuroscience as being a field that will threaten privacy, end autonomy and the concept of human nature, and result in the homogenization of society. The article further asserts that neuroscientists will soon be able to screen an individual's brain in order to assess mental health, or be able to repair faulty personality traits using drugs or microchip implants.

If these developments reach fruition, the legal profession will find itself having to deal with them, like it has with genetics and other scientific developments in the last one hundred years. This book gives an excellent introduction to how the legal community is confronting them, and can be read by anyone curious about the issues at stake, as a background in neuroscience or law is not necessary for its perusal. The book is a collection of articles written by experts in law and neuroscience, but the authors of these articles keep the terminology and concepts at a reasonable level. In addition, philosophical speculation is kept at a manageable level.

In Part 1 of the book, Brent Garland gives a general overview of the main legal issues that have already arisen due to the advances in neuroscience. Garland's first goal is to answer to what extent neuroscience will actually impact the law. He expresses confidence that legal institutions will be able to handle any kind of scientific developments, without any major disruptions to its fundamental structure. In addition, he points to the need for a framework for addressing issues in neuroscience in relation to the law. He settles on one that separates the experimental techniques for monitoring and imaging the brain from its actual manipulations and the modalities for its enhancement. Many interesting issues are discussed by Garland, particularly on the concept of free will, which some believe will be obliterated by neuroscience. Garland however believes this will not be the case, and he offers reasons for holding to this opinion.

The issue of free will in twenty-first century neuroscience is brought up again in Part 2, which is a collection of commissioned articles for the book. The first article by Michael Gazzaniga and Megan Steven addresses briefly the philosophical arguments for free will and then moves on to the fascinating experiments of Benjamin Liber, which shed light on the extent to which brain activity precedes conscious experience. If these experiments indeed show that that brain is able to make decisions before we are aware of them, then this has ramifications to the culpability of criminals when carrying out heinous acts. Gazzaniga and Steven however present arguments that hold that this is not the case, that indeed it is possible to have free will in a deterministic system. Their arguments are more philosophical than scientific, and they conclude that neuroscience can say little about human responsibility. For them, the concept of responsibility is one that arises only as a rule in human society. It does not exist, they say, in the neuronal structure of the brain.

The article by Laurence Tancredi is more pro-scientific than the others in the book. He asserts, rightfully so, that imaging technologies such as PET, SPECT, and fMRI have laid to rest the mind-body problem that has occupied the time of many philosophers for centuries now. He is more pessimistic on the ability of the legal community to keep up with the advances in neuroscience however. He addresses four issues that he believes will challenge legal institutions in the upcoming years: brain death; cognition as it applies to competency in civil matters; cognitive enhancement, and neuroscientific measures for personal veracity. The advent of brain/machine interfaces and the possibility of downloading a person's thoughts into a machine will entail a new definition of brain death, he asserts. Although such a scenario seems implausible at present, so was the idea of brain/machine interfaces not too long ago. Tancredi's discussion of cognitive enhancement is fascinating since he addresses what is currently possible and what might soon be possible in this area (and many references are given).

Henry Greeley's article addresses the legal ramifications of advances in neuroscience in the areas of prediction, litigation, confidentiality and privacy, and patents. He is careful to point out that he believes that the technologies of neuroscience will have more benefit than harm, but that predicting their influence is done only with great difficulty. The author is very thorough in his discussion, and brings up many examples of compelling interest, such as statutory authorization of "mental searches", legalized or enforced "mental intrusions", and most interestingly, the possibility of owning a patent on thought patterns.

The article by Stephen Morse discusses the legal concepts that will need to be constructed due to the advances in neuroscience, which he believes has not been done yet. The discussion is therefore more philosophical in nature, and emphasizes the legal concept of personhood. The possibility of free will again takes center stage in this discussion, and Morse clearly believes that only future developments in neuroscience may offer a direct challenge to personhood and responsibility. No threat arises to our social and legal institutions at the present time.

Book Description

Advances in neuroscience research are rapidly bringing new and complex issues to the forefront of medical and social ethics, and scholars from diverse fields have been coming together to debate the issues at stake. Acclaimed science writer Sandra Ackerman witnessed one such gathering, and here she skillfully synthesizes those proceedings into a concise presentation of the challenges that neuroscience and neuroethics currently face.

Top scholars and scientists in neuroscience and ethics convened at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., in May 2005. They included Michael Gazzaniga, director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Dartmouth College; Marcus Raichle of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis; Harvard University provost Steven Hyman; Judy Illes, cofounder of the Stanford Brain Research Center; University of Virginia bioethicist Jonathan Moreno; Stacey Tovino of the Health Law and Policy Institute at the University of Houston Law Center; and Stanford law professor Hank Greely.

Ackerman weaves the invigorating arguments and discussions among these and other prominent scholars into a seamless and dynamic narrative. She reveals the wide array of issues that have emerged from recent research, including brain imaging, free will and personal responsibility, disease diagnosis and prediction, brain enhancement, and the potential social, political, and legal ramifications of new discoveries. Translating these complex arguments into an engrossing account of neuroethics, she offers a rare view of science—and ethics—in the making.

A Unique, Important and Timely Book.......2007-03-29

Our entire understanding of the mind and the brain is undergoing radical change. We learn that our brains can create new neurons throughout life, and that we have undreamed of capacities for growth, adaptation and change. Many of the implications of this growth in knowledge are only just beginning to sink in, and are leading us to reconsider a great many issues concerning ethics, morality, responsibility and the law. Important new specialties with such names as "neuroethics" are beginning to emerge.

The explosion of new knowledge about the brain is now thought to be doubling every 2-3 years, and is leading scientists, philosophers and ethicists to consider such knotty problems as personhood: does a severely brain injured person have the same rights as everyone else? If the brain has not finished growing until people are in their early twenties, can they be held to be legally responsible? What are the implications of direct brain-to-computer interfaces and drugs and artificial devices that enhance cognition? If someone in the near future can do a brain scan to see what you are thinking or what you will buy, what will be the impact of this kind of brain imaging on privacy? It has been shown to be very easy to implant false memories. Can brain scanning be used to tell if a memory is true or false or if someone is lying? Even very mundane questions: should a young person be able to drive a car or fire a gun if they do not yet have the cognitive abilities an adult? We all have our own views and opinions about topics like these, but this time the tools of science can help to inform our opinions.

Many television dramas have presented simplified caricatures of some of this changing neurological landscape. There have been shows in which defense and prosecuting attorneys have argued over some arcane neurological finding and whether it should give an accused person a "get out of jail free" card. These shows are only reflecting a raft of issues that are being regularly argued at scientific meetings and in the courts. There are many experts who are convinced that they have found evidence from brain scans to "explain" antisocial behavior, rage attacks or paranoia. There are just as many who are convinced that they are wrong, and the specter of dueling experts often confuses juries and reporters.

This slim book - only 152 pages excluding the forward - is a superb record of a series of deliberations by experts in brain sciences, psychology, philosophy and ethics that took place in May 2005. I know virtually all the people who spoke, and they are all not only thought leaders, but people known for their measured and thoughtful views on these complex issues.

Following these chapters there is a public discussion featuring important contributions from the author and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist William Safire, who is chairman of the Dana Foundation, one of the sponsors of the 2005 meeting; Hank Greely, who is Professor of Law and Genetics at Stanford, and the eminent neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga from Dartmouth College.

One of the strengths of the book is that Sandra Ackerman is a journalist who is explaining the issues and the discussion for a general audience, so it is a very easy read and some very complex issues are clarified.

Clearly a book of this length cannot do justice to all of the issues raised by the new advances in neuroscience, but this is the clearest introduction and overview that I have seen.

This book deserves a very wide readership, and is essential for neuroscientists or anyone working in the law or ethics.

Highly recommended.

Book Description

Having been originally introduced as a term to facilitate discussion of a specific group of patients regarded as entering a state of unawareness following coma, the ‘Persistent Vegetative State’ (PVS) has established itself as an apparently discrete medical condition with clear-cut implications for ethicists and lawyers that exceed any scientifically based understanding. As a consequence of this upgrading, conclusions drawn about the status and hence the management of this uncommon condition have been increasingly extended to other patients with much more common forms of disability.

This book traces the origins of prevailing perceptions about PVS and submits these to critical examination. In doing this it comes to the conclusion that inadequate attention has been paid to acknowledging what is not known about affected individuals and that assumptions have consistently come to be traded as facts. Re-examination of the basis of the PVS and the adoption of a more scientific approach is long overdue and is owed to the community at large which has generally been provided by many medical practitioners with a ‘dumbed-down’ account of the condition.

The book will be of interest to philosophers, medical graduates and neuroscientists but is also intended to remain accessible to the general reader with an interest in the wider implications of trends in medical thinking for attitudes towards many classes of patient. It has an extensive bibliography and will be of specific interest to bioethicists and lawyers with professional interests in PVS.

Book Description

Anne Bashkiroff was a pioneer in the fight for Alzheimer’s awareness. Her dear husband, Sasha, suffered for nine years with this terrible brain- and soul-damaging illness. Anne was faced with unanswered questions, economic heartaches, and lonely nights of suffering. The consequences of Alzheimer's and the extended burden the disease places on families and caregivers was not fully known in the 1970s. Instead of giving up, Bashkiroff moved to make the world aware of the silent disease. Her strength and dedication led her to help establish the Family Survival Project. In 1997, she testified before First Lady Rosalynn Carter about the needs of caregivers. Bashkiroff turned her inward suffering to outward hope.
