The emerging resource crisis will affect the right to social participation, wellbeing and autonomy of older or impaired people. Social assistive technologies such as robot companions or smart screen assistants promise to preserve individual rights by supporting their users in their daily environment. They offer emotional as well as physical care and support. However, socially assistive technologies raise difficult ethical questions about their ability to deception. Social assistive devices often create illusions and simulations. They can fool their users into social-like empathic relationships or manipulate their environment and beliefs. Isn\u2019t that morally questionable? Should we use such technologies in the care of elderly? And if we do that: How should we use it?\u00a0 The Institute for Medical Ethics and History of Medicine hosts a conference on this issues:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">International Conference for Young Scholars<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">4<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 8<sup>th<\/sup> February 2019 in Bochum, Germany<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Aging between Participation and Simulation &#8211; Ethical Dimensions of Socially Assistive Technologies<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Call for Abstract is out now!<\/strong> We invite international young scholars to present their research projects, to discuss them with leading experts in the field and to contribute to the interdisciplinary discourse on social assistive technologies and their ethical dimensions.
