摘要: The convergence of biomedical sciences with nanotechnology as well ICT has created a new wave technologies, resulting in visions ‘molecular medicine’. Since novel technologies tend to shift concepts disease and health, this paper investigates how the emerging field molecular medicine may meaning ‘disease’ boundary between health disease. It gives brief overview development towards often very speculative medicine. Subsequently three views used philosophy are briefly discussed: ontological or neo-ontological, physiological normative/holistic Against background two tendencies highlighted: (1) use cascade model (2) notion deviation from an individual pattern functioning. becomes clear that pulls conceptualizations several, partly opposed directions. However, tensions also offer opportunities steer future more desirable
