"Studies in Ethics, Law and Technology" from BEP.

Berkeley Electronic Press (BEP; Berkeley, CA) has released the first issue of "Studies in Ethics, Law and Technology," a new "policy-focused" journal that examines the ethical and legal issues that arise from emerging technologies. An annual subscription to the new quarterly costs $275 for academic institutions and $825 for businesses.

BEP said the new journal is the first title to focus on not just on issues of bioethics but also the broad range of ethical issues relevant to all technologies and their impact on the environment, society, and humanity. Topics covered include biotechnology, nanotechnology, neurotechnology, information technology, weapons, energy and fuel, space-based technology, and new media and communications.

Articles discuss the synergy between law and ethics and are designed to provide a policy response to technology's opportunities and challenges. The premier issue focuses on issues of human enhancement, including sports and enhancement research, social perspectives and genetic enhancement, virtue ethics and prenatal genetic enhancement, enhancement and its relation to eugenics, genetic enhancement and procreative autonomy, societal considerations of life span extension, medical nanorobotics, and related aging intervention research.

Related BEP legal journals include "Review of Law & Economics," "Muslim World Journal of Human Rights," "Journal of Tort Law," "Theoretical Inquiries in Law," "Issues in Legal Scholarship," "Global Jurist," "International Commentary on Evidence" and "Asian Journal of Comparative Law."
