Summary
It is obvious that scientific developments may have direct implications for moral and legal beliefs. Examples of science stimulating and affecting the development of moral and legal ideas are numerous and all too well known. The concept of brain death, and the corresponding legal regulations, followed the advancement of knowledge on the biological foundations of human life and consciousness. Legal restrictions on smoking emerged after the severe impact of cigarettes on human health had been scientifically proven.
