Two-thirds of Americans think nanotechnology is morally repugnant - wait, what?


Given the fact that most of the events we saw nanotech to make transistors smaller, or the production of electricity, we are not quite sure why the recent studies conducted by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, showed that two-thirds of American think nanotechnology is a "morally repugnant" -- they may not have heard that the team that used nanotech Bible inscribed on the head of a pin? Overall, the Americans have been much less admission pint-size technology than other countries - 72 percent of respondents believed the French nanotech morally good, as 54 percent of those surveyed residents of Great Britain and 62 percent of Germans. Nevertheless, we wonder why someone found reason to object to nanotechnology - unlike biotech, we do not see a lot of moral dilemmas arising from the research. Well, except that the entire gray goo thing - but if it is a risk we have to take, finally, the pair of electric pants, you can sign up with us.
