Nanoethics—A Collaboration Across Disciplines

摘要: The field of nanoscience and nanotechnology is expanding rapidly, promising great benefits for society in the form better medicine, more efficient energy production, new types materials, etc. Naturally, order science technology to live up these promises, it important continue scientific research development, but equally ethical dimension. Giving attention social, legal aspects field, among others, will help developing a fully responsible—and thereby capable—science technology. Nanoethics has emerged as concerned with such issues related nanotechnology. Even though this relatively new, significant amount literature already been published. This paper focuses on three major which are discussed nanoethics, also points certain bias literature. Each quite different nature, are: (1) naming (2) timing approach well (3) issue safety. As be seen, almost exclusively by ethicists, (throughout article, term’ethicist’ used broad definition covering philosophers, social political scientists philosophers science) thus having no direct influence work being carried out scientists. One can argue, therefore, that creates distortion debate, making insufficient misleading. Ultimately, caused lack communication collaboration between ethicists one hand, nanoscientists other. Thus, an argument made disciplines begin collaborating, so effectively responsibly develop nanoscience.
