What are the Ethical Concerns in Medical Applications?
One of the most promising areas for nanotechnology is in medicine. It involves developing nanomedicines for targeted drug delivery and improving diagnostic tools. However, ethical issues arise concerning patient safety, consent, and the long-term effects of nanoparticles in the human body. Questions such as "How do we ensure informed consent when patients may not fully understand nanotechnology?" and "What are the potential long-term health risks of nanoparticles?" need careful consideration.
