Prof Sean Spence discusses the ethics of using pharmacology to regulate human behaviour.

Bidisha hosts a debate from Liverpool's FACT centre for Radio 3's Free Thinking festival, with Sean Spence discussing the ethics of using pharmacology to regulate human behaviour.

Bidisha hosts a debate recorded in front of an audience at Liverpool's FACT centre, for Radio 3's Free Thinking festival of ideas, with Sean Spence, professor of psychiatry at the University of Sheffield giving a talk on the ethics of using pharmacology to regulate human behaviour.

He argues that in the case of antisocial people who want to reduce their risk to society, the prescription of behaviour-modifiying drugs is not coercive, imposed control, but a postive step - something he calls 'collaborative pharmacology'.

A talk given last year as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival of Ideas by Sean Spence , professor of adult psychiatry at the University of Sheffield, on the ethics of using drugs to regulate human behaviour. It is his contention that in the cases of people who wish to reduce their risk to society by accepting medication, clinicians are not engaged in coercive, imposed control but in what he calls "collaborative pharmacology". Presented by Bidisha. Producer Fiona McLean
