Pills that improve morality: Julian Savulescu at TEDxBarcelona


Here you have a very nice academic who talks about ethics at TEDx.

I found his speech very interesting mainly because he argues that our technological progress doesn't guarantee us that our morality will develop further. On the contrary, it seems that our moral values need also to evolve and adapt to the reality we live in. How are we to achieve this?

In my opinion, one solution could be moral education.

KPA received a very good feedback for organising this project and decided to keep Keele in Spring Photography Exhibition open to the public for the entire month of May.


“I am happy that I managed to bring all these people together and discovered that Keele students are so motivated to get involved in this kind of projects that make them realize how important they are for our community.” -  Lavinia Ioana Udrea (Keele Ph.D Student and KPA Environmental Officer)
