Ethics and social policy in research on the neuroscience of human sexuality

Paul R Wolpe

Paul Root Wolpe is in the Department of Psychiatry and Center for Bioethics, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, USA. wolpep@mail.med.upenn.edu

The potential benefits of neuroscientific research into sexuality are great, but neuroscientists must participate in debates over the social, forensic and therapeutic implications of their findings. If serious research in sexuality is to be supported by the public, researchers must continue to earn society's trust with responsible and thoughtful presentation of their work.
