— Just because something new can be done, should it be done? — What do we actually mean when we say “innovation”?
— Should different values be applied to social innovations and technological innovations?
— When is the best time to introduce ethical considerations into the process of innovation?
— Is there a set of values that is appropriate and relevant to innovation?

Debates rage...

So please bring along your opinions (loosely held, please), your inquiring mind, and a burning desire to contribute to, what's sure to be, a rousing conversation.
