As mankind finds ever more impious ways to kill and maim, some look to non-lethal weapons as a fix. Brian Rappert discusses the technologies involved and the ethics of, for example blinding someone with a laser, leaving them blind forever, versus killing them outright.
Brian Rappert is a Research Fellow in the School of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Nottingham. He is author of numerous reports and articles on the assessments of risky technology.
