A BBC Radio series, Analysis, looks at how we tackle practical ethical questions from an unusual angle this week. Instead of trying to establish what our personal moralities should be logically, the scientists interviewed discuss what the biological and even neuroscientific processes are that appear to drive our moral senses (and show some provocative examples of how our moral instincts fail to coincide with logical moral reasoning). Grab it while the audio is still live (I think even non-UK people will be able to download the MP3 though I may be wrong).
