Abstract:
Nanotechnology holds great potential as an enabler of a wide range of biotechnologies that will change the face of medicine and may eventually alter the very definition of human health. Deb Bennett-Woods argues that these changes will also pose unprecedented challenges regarding access to health-related technologies, the meaning of consent, and the nature of human identity.Development (2006) 49, 54-59. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100297Document Type: Research article
