What are the ethical concerns and risks associated with nanotechnology in neurology?
While the potential benefits are immense, there are several ethical and safety concerns. The long-term effects of nanomaterials in the brain are not fully understood, raising questions about toxicity and biocompatibility. Additionally, the ability to manipulate brain function at the molecular level poses ethical dilemmas regarding privacy, consent, and potential misuse. Rigorous regulatory frameworks and ethical guidelines are essential to address these concerns.
