Medical Technology: Indicator of Modern Technocracy
Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society 6 (1):53-59 (1986)
Abstract
Technological innovations are commonplace today and usually provide great social benefits. The case of medical technology is of prime interest, for though it seems to provide primarily advantages, it may unwittingly turn over to technocrats the governance of modem society. This essay warns against the pitfalls of the age of technocracy, and calls for the maintenance of democratic controls over the development and implementation of modem technology.Author's Profile
