技术伦理学涉及伦理学在技术、技术变革、技术进步及其应用中的影响。这在生物伦理学、计算机伦理学或工程伦理学等已建立的领域都是如此，在神经伦理学等新的研究领域也是如此。随着在延长寿命或机器人化等方面取得了开创性的突破，新的问题出现了，关于维持临终病例的正确性或错误性，即使以牺牲这样的权衡为代价，例如在第一种情况下为早产儿或有缺陷的婴儿提供生命，或者在第二种情况下取代工人。这些令人痛苦的困境中的一些处理的文件中强调的矛盾心理和困难，并相应的争议，在技术应用中达到道德的决定。
Technoethics relates to the impact of ethics in technology, technological change, and technological advances and their applications. This is true both in established fields such as bioethics or computer ethics or engineering ethics but also in new areas of research such as neuroethics. As pioneering breakthroughs are made in, say, extending life or robotization, novel questions arise regarding the rightness or wrongness of keeping terminal cases alive even at the expense of such trade-offs as making life possible for premature or defective babies in the first case or replacing workers in the second. Some of these agonizing dilemmas are treated in the paper highlighting the ambivalence and difficulty-and corresponding controversy-in reaching ethical decisions in technological applications.
