MARQUEZ D, Jairo E. Nanobioethic, nanobiopolitics and nanotechnology. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2008, vol.24, n.1, pp.140-157. ISSN 0120-5552.

The study of the bioethic id about the preservation and respect for the life, where its ethical principles look for to show to the societies, the importance of the conservation and care of the same one, apparent in their different forms. Under this premise, it is contemplated in this present work, to extend the study of the bioethic (nanobioethic and nanobiopolitic) to the new such emergent sciences as the nanotecnología, which goes in very few years has to allow to create "artificial life" (gray life and digital life) whose panorama with respect to the existence of the natural life will be uncertain, because great uncertainty exists on the behavior of the systems artificial nanotecnológicos SAN in open environments (ecosystems), in those that presumably a competition exists among these two types of life for its survival. Of happening this competition, those SAN they will acquire own autonomy (SCAN), making that interaction with the natural organisms, inducing it to create new hybrid or independent niches of the natural life.

Keywords : Nanotechnology; bioethic; biopolitic; nanobioethic; nanobiopolitic; emergent systems; complex systems; thermodynamic systems; adaptation; evolution.
