At first glance, innovation appears to be ethically indifferent and its moral valuation seems solely related to its use.

However, what is clear is that innovation is not just technological or economical, but also ethical and social. Innovation can contribute to the creation or destruction of jobs, the fight against crime, the invasion of privacy, finding the cure for hereditary diseases or the manufacture of synthetic genomes. Innovation is related to education, interpersonal dialogue, participative democracy and new and innovative economic models.
