A new television show was apparently launched in the US in April titled the “Power of Small”. Whilst I am unable to comment on the TV show being located in Australia, the website makes for interesting listening. A panel discusses the use of nanotechnology in the areas of Privacy, Health and Environment and small videos look at possible scenarios in each of these areas. For instance under Privacy: would you be prepared to have a loved one tagged in order to monitor their every move? or under Health: would you like to be able to live to 150?
There are plenty of other scenarios and they all raise interesting moral and ethical questions for everyone to think about. Would I really want to live to 150, somehow I don’t think so!
