What Are the Ethical Considerations in Nanotechnology for Bioengineering?
The use of nanotechnology in bioengineering raises several ethical considerations. These include the potential for unintended health and environmental effects, issues related to privacy and security (especially with nanoscale biosensors), and concerns about equitable access to advanced nanomedicine therapies. Bioengineers must navigate these ethical challenges while ensuring that their innovations are safe, effective, and accessible.
