Social implications of nanomedicine Considering both the risks and benefits of nanomedicine

摘要

Nanomedicine is a promising new technology, with implications for the manufacturing of a wide array of medical devices and therapies. However, it comes with risks that are still ill-defined. Both the positive and negative implications of nanomedicine must be considered as the field progresses. The push to develop new treatments and therapies based on nanodrugs should be balanced and time should be taken to investigate the toxicity or dangers of such drugs and devices. The development of nanomedicine will necessitate innovative thinking, international cooperation and the modern application of bioethical principles to handle the breakneck pace of advancements in nanomedicine.
