Equipping social scientists for ethical challenges is the aim of a new book, "Ethical Challenges in the Brain and Behavioral Sciences: Case Studies and Commentaries" (Cambridge University Press), edited by Cornell psychologist Robert Sternberg and Susan Fiske of Princeton University. The volume's eye-opening and cautionary tales about real-world ethical dilemmas are intended not to provide "correct" answers, but to prompt readers to reflect on how to resolve ethics problems before encountering them.
