“…This evidence justifies the claim that, generally speaking, DBS is not a threat to personal, but some patients might not experience well any form of estrangement. Patients would benefit from being informed ahead of any potential risks, prior to consenting to being implanted, as in other types of invasive brain intervention (Viaña, Vickers et al 2017;Gilbert et al 2014;Viaña, Bittlinger et al 2017;Gilbert 2015b;Bretzner et al 2011;Gilbert, Vranic, and Hurst 2013;Gilbert 2014;Vranic & Gilbert 2014;Gilbert & Cook 2015;Gilbert 2017;Gilbert & Dodds 2013;Gilbert & Focquaert 2015;Gilbert & Vranic 2015).…”

“…Although some psychiatrists still consider these “psycho-dynamic” interpretations of pedophilia emerging late in life as valid (Scarpazza et al, 2018 for a critical discussion; Cohen et al, 2002 ; Drapeau et al, 2008 ), more recent neuroscientific evidences have suggested that late-onset pedophilia is likely to emerge as a consequence of brain disorders (see Mohnke et al, 2014 for a review). This has dramatic consequences on the legal phenomenon of late-onset pedophilia: even though the psycho-dynamic interpretation of the paedophilic behavior indicates that the defendant should be considered fully responsible for his own action, the neuroscientific interpretation, if proven, implicates that the defendant should be considered not guilty by reason of insanity (Gilbert and Focquaert, 2015 ). Indeed, whether patients with acquired paedophilic behavior experienced paedophilic sexual preferences before the brain injury is irrelevant for the legal context.…”

“…What should be done if these devices are remarkably effective at dealing with certain targeted symptoms but patients seems to respond by not being able to cope well with the results of being symptom-free? Any brain surgery involves a set of ethical concerns (Gilbert and Vranic 2015;Gilbert and Focquaert 2015), especially when links to novel invasive electromaterial technologies (Gilbert et al 2014;Gilbert 2013b;Gilbert and Dodds 2013). By ensuring that we can better understand the impacts of predictive brain devices on patients' postoperative quality of life, neuroethics will be ideally positioned to assess the novel issues raised by clinical trials and the long-term use of these novel devices in humans.…”
