新技术往往会引起以前未知的伦理问题，而且往往需要多年的时间才能完全融入社会。我们提出了一种新的技术评估形式，将重点放在新技术的伦理影响上；伦理技术评估（eTA）。伦理技术评估将作为在早期阶段确定新技术不利影响的工具。它应该在与技术开发人员的对话中进行，并采用持续对话的形式，而不是在特定时间点进行单一评价。eTA可以在一份清单的基础上进行，该清单涉及技术的九个关键伦理方面；(1)信息的传播和使用；(2)控制、影响和权力；(3)对社会接触模式的影响；(4)隐私；(5)可持续性；(6)人类生殖；(7)性别、少数群体和正义；(8)国际关系；(9)对人类价值观的影响。伦理技术评估不应局限于任何特定的道德理论。相反，他们应该对不同的观点和解决方案持开放态度。(c) 2005爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
New technologies often give rise to previously unknown ethical problems, and it often takes many years to fully integrate them in society. We propose a new form of technology assessment that will focus on the ethical implications of new technologies; ethical technology assessment (eTA). Ethical technology assessment will serve as a tool for identifying adverse effects of new technologies at an early stage. It should be undertaken in dialogue with technology developers and have the form of a continuous dialogue rather than a single evaluation at a specific point in time. eTA can be conducted on the basis of a check-list that refers to nine crucial ethical aspects of technology; (1) Dissemination and use of information, (2) Control, influence and power, (3) Impact on social contact patterns, (4) Privacy, (5) Sustainability, (6) Human reproduction, (7) Gender, minorities and justice, (8) International relations, and (9) Impact on human values. Ethical technology assessments should not be committed to any particular moral theory. Instead they should be open to different perspectives and solutions. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
