There is a realistic hope for the preservation of self-determination and independence in the long term. However, some risks like a gradual lost of privacy should not be underestimated. The article discusses some ethical problems within this context. At the same time, the article demonstrates that the development and implementation of these technologies might be discussed for instance under some ethical assumptions of personal self-responsibility as well as social responsibility for the widest independence in advanced age. |
