Question: Assess the arguments that we examined for and against continued research in nanotechnology. Given the potential advantages and disadvantages involved in research and development in this area, which side in this debate do you find to be more plausible? Do the criteria provided by JohnWeckert for when research in a particular area should and should not be allowed in scientific research offer us clear guidelines with respect to research and development in nanotechnology and nanocomputing? What kind of an ethical framework is needed to guide research and development in this field?
