SOLORZANO HERNANDEZ, Gabriel Alexander. Nanoethics: a bioethical knowledge?. Rev. P+L [online]. 2014, vol.9, n.2, pp.89-100. ISSN 1909-0455.
This article is about the well-known and old discussion about the distinction between the technical and the theoretical knowledge and the contemporary techno-scientific output. It also examines how the invention of microscopy and the Drexler´s theory eased the birth and the development of nanotechnology, and insists on the necessity of ethically reflect about nanotechnology from the nanoethics. The article states how nanoethics in immersed in the scientific and academic languages, but lacks an essence that identifies it as a way of applied ethics. Five possible meanings of nanoethics, as the term is currently understood, are described. The conclusion remarks the importance of bioethics and general ethics concerning life as zoé and bios, from the organic life and the social life´s viewpoints.
