Nanotechnology in Medicine: Implications of converging technologies on humanity

Debra Bennett-Woods

Development, 2006, vol. 49, issue 4, 54-59

Abstract: Nanotechnology holds great potential as an enabler of a wide range of biotechnologies that will change the face of medicine and may eventually alter the very definition of human health. Deb Bennett-Woods argues that these changes will also pose unprecedented challenges regarding access to health-related technologies, the meaning of consent, and the nature of human identity.
