Zusammenfassung:Nanotechnology will eventually impact every area of our world. Nanoethics seeks to examine the potential risks and rewards of applications of nanotechnology. This up to date anthology gives the reader an introduction to and basic foundation in nanotechnology and nanoethics, and then delves into near, mid,, and far term issues. It goes beyond the usual environmental, health, and safety (EHS) concerns to explore such topics as privacy, nanomedicine, human enhancement, global regulation, military, humanitarianism, education, artificial intelligence, space exploration, life extension, and more. It features contributions from forty preeminent experts from academia and industry worldwide, reflecting diverse perspectives. It also includes seminal works that influence nanoethics today, and encourages an informed, proactive approach to nanoethics and advocates addressing new and emerging controversies before they impede progress or impact our welfare. This resource is designed to promote further investigations and a broad and balanced dialogue in nanoethics, dealing with critical issues that will affect the industry as well as society.
