Chapter 6 On the Juxtaposition between Privacy and Excellence; Ethical Considerations Regarding Data-Collection during Recruitment for Military Missions in the 21st Century.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Since the turn of the century, the emphasis in military missions has shifted from large-scale engagements between conventional forces to small-scale, targeted actions against relatively autonomous terrorist cells, guerrilla forces and insurrectionists, while the battle-ground has progressively moved towards urban areas. Consequently, military action has come to rely increasingly on elite units, who simultaneously need to constitute a safety factor to the local civilian population and a highly effective and often aggressive attack force against unfriendly elements. This dual, and often conflicting, nature of modern military action requires individual soldiers and lower-level commanders to be increasingly independent, highly ethical and extremely resilient against the stresses associated with war. Consequently, recruitment processes rely more and more on data collection and modern technology plays a major role in this, which has, on the one hand, led to significantly better selection methodologies, but on the other constitutes a potential incursion into the privacy of potential recruits. There are for instance indications that heightened sensitivity in the locus coereleus, a region in the brainstem, may increase susceptibility to post-traumatic stress disorder. However, identifying individuals who display this prior vulnerability factor requires brain scans, which may reveal other issues, such as tumours or early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, which could exclude individuals from frontline service and severely impact their quality of life. In this paper, we address some of the ethical issues involved in the ever-increasing need and technical ability for data collection on military personnel.
