Description
The concepts of human and therapy have been evolving and generating profound changes for enhancement, leading to a necessary debate surrounding its potential boundaries.
Ethical Dimensions of Bio-Nanotechnology: Present and Future Applications in Telemedicine will illustrate the concept of bionanotechnology as a research field, acknowledge how Western and Eastern philosophical systems infer bionanotechnology medical appliances, and describe its key ethical and social dilemmas. This work will benefit scholars, practitioners, and students that belong to the subsequent fields of research: biotechnology; nanotechnology; bionanotechnology; information technology; ethics; philosophy; theology; political science; sociology; and psychology.
