 | Hi there, i am currently conducting a research on the ethical issues
regarding the field of nanotechnologies. I would like to hear from
potential experts as well as public views on whether nanotechnology
research and development brings more advantage than disadvantage with
regards to ethical issues. So come on people out there, what you have
to say about this matter? Lets debate on this. I would appreciate any
help, recommendations and comments from all of you as this would
contribute significantly in my research. Thanks very much in advance
for those who took their time reading this message and posting their
opnion and thoughts. I am really grateful for it.
Cheers,
Jess

Well, i can repeat what i have said in my last message about ethics in
neural networks: what in nanotechnologies could be unethical?
The problem is not what (nanotechnologie), but why (why we need it and
why we create it). If we have to label something unethical, we have to
say what is good or wrong with it first.

bye.
