Research On The Ethical Issures Of Nanotechnology

The application of nanotechnology is potential and will bring people benefits, which include in the economic, biology, society and philosophy fields. The nanotechnology will also result in the evolutions of manufacture type, acknowledgement and self-theory. The misuse of nanotechnology will bring some negative impact/value to people and cause the ethical problems, which include gene optimization, colony and life-enlarge. The resulted environmental ethic is threaten to life, which include the people and their offspring's health living and existence of other species. The social ethic of nanotechnology is various, such as physical ethic, privacy, community equity and social safety. When facing the ethics brought by nanotechnology, people should obey some moral rules and take their responsibility, by which to make the development of nanotechnology do better to the people's life and improve the balance of zoology. The stipulations of an agreement of ethic on nanotechnology has the property of process, which the forward agreement and post one. According to different process, stipulations of an agreement have their own measure and mechanism. The former one has two phases. One is in the design phase of nanotechnology, when the guard and control of nanotechnology are performed through the committee of professionals in this area. The other is during the test phase, when the control is done by the certification of ethics, which include the establishment of ideas of nanotechnology and enforcement the responsibility. The post stipulation also has two phases, that is the application phase and the popularization phase of nanotechnology. As far as the former phase is concerned, it should construct the ethics laws to guard it, which include convention laws and normal. While in the latter phase, the stipulations should be regulated by the ethic. In a word, people should change their old ethics ideas to prompt the development and application of nanotechnology when facing the conflict of the new and old things, which indeed make the new things to ignite all the power to serve the people and society.
