Why “neuroright” is a great word
NEURORIGHT — [Noun] A legal or ethical entitlement designed to protect an individual’s mental and neural integrity from non-consensual intrusion by neurotechnologies. From the combining form neuro- (relating to nerves or the nervous system) + right (a moral or legal entitlement). The term was first introduced in 2017 by Marcello Ienca and Roberto Andorno. Unlike a “human right” (a broad, foundational principle) or “privacy” (which guards personal information), a neuroright is a specialized bulwark erected at the last frontier of the self. It is the right to a mind that remains a sanctuary: to keep your memories from being downloaded, your moods from being synthetically calibrated, and your most private thoughts from being parsed like open-source code—a quiet insistence that consciousness, in all its fragile mystery, is not another database to be mined.
