From manufacturing to medicine, nanotechnology implies
revolutionary change. However, the sweeping changes wrought by a
technological advance of this magnitude are likely to come at a
price that includes unforeseen environmental impact, disruptions in
industry, displacement of workers, and deeply controversial
applications of the technology and its offspring. Nanotechnology:
Ethics and Society provides a conceptually clear and
straightforward ethical framework, in which pragmatic questions can
be raised regarding the impact of nano-related technologies. The
book focuses on general issues related to nanotechnology in
nanomaterials and manufacturing as well as impacts on the
marketplace and workforce. After an overview of the nanotechnology
revolution, the text illustrates key concepts in the assessment
model and then applies this model to a case study related to human
enhancement technologies. It also offers an ethical agenda for
addressing the challenges of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology
promises to be the next great technological revolution. This
important volume provides a framework for deciding how best to take
advantage of nanotechnology opportunities while also minimizing the
harm of negative effects.
