Nanomedicina e neurotecnologie: la convergenza delle problematiche etiche

Nanomedicine and neurotechnologies: converging ethical issues. Within emerging technologies, nanotechnologies and neurotechnologies are peculiar both with regards to the scientific and technological applications and possibilities and with regards to the ethical dimension. With regard to this last one, the debate concerns a double meaning: the first one concern the necessity of the ethical reflection in these contexts especially when there are possible applications on the human being. The second, concern the novelty of the ethical issues generated by these technologies.
