NANOETHICS: FACTS, PROMISES AND CHALLENGES<br />

Our planet is facing with the fast development and growth of a new and<br />

emerging science and technologies. Nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine<br />

are the latest of such technologies in the field of biology and medicine. The<br />

use of nano-materials in diagnostics, treatment and prevention of diseases,<br />

or the use stem cells for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are<br />

some of the fastest growing technologies. Beside the safety issues, a great<br />

concern surrounds the ethical, legal and social implications of using such<br />

technologies in humans, animals and environment. Nanoethics is a newly<br />

emerged branch of science which deals with ethical, legal and social implications<br />

of the new and emerging science and technologies in general and<br />

nanotechnology in particular. Therefore the moral and legal argumentation<br />

for using these technologies in the society is a major challenge for bioethicists<br />

and other relevant authorities.<br />

NANOETIKA: ČINJENICE, OBEĆANJA I IZAZOVI<br />

Naš planet suočava se s brzim razvojem i rastom novonastajuće znanosti<br />

i tehnologija. Nanobiotehnologija i nanomedicina su posljednje takve<br />

tehnologije u polju biologije i medicine. Među one tehnologije koje se najbrže<br />

razvijaju ubrajaju se korištenje nano-materijala za dijagnosticiranje,<br />

liječenje i prevenciju bolesti ili matičnih stanica za inženjering tkiva i regenerativnu<br />

medicinu. Osim pitanja o njihovoj sigurnosti, veliku zabrinutost<br />

izazivaju etičke, pravne i društvene implikacije korištenja tih tehnologija<br />

kod ljudi i životinja te u okolišu. Nanoetika je nova grana znanosti koja se<br />

bavi etičkim, pravnim i društvenim iplikacijama novonastajuće znanosti i<br />

tehnologija općenito, a napose nanotehnologije. Stoga je moralna i pravna<br />

argumentacija vezana uz upotrebu ovih tehnologija u društvu glavni izazov<br />

za bioetičare i druge relevantne autoritete.<br />
