Nanobioethics

Nanobioethics is a subfield of bioethics that addresses the ethical, legal, and social implications of nanotechnology in biology and medicine. It explores the moral considerations surrounding the use of nanoscale materials and devices in healthcare, such as potential benefits, risks to patients and society, and issues of consent and privacy. As innovations emerge, nanobioethics seeks to ensure that scientific advancements align with ethical standards and protect human rights, promoting responsible research and application in medicine while considering the long-term impacts on individuals and communities.
