Nell'ambito delle tecnologie emergenti, le nanotecnologie e le neurotecnologie si sono dimostrate tecnologie singolari sia con riguardo alle possibili applicazioni che da esse possono scaturire, sia con riguardo alle problematicità etiche che queste sono in grado di generare. Con riguardo proprio alla dimensione etica il dibattito si pone per entrambe le tecnologie in un duplice senso. Il primo attiene alla necessaria riflessione etica in questi campi di indagine, soprattutto con riguardo alle loro possibili applicazioni sull'essere umano. Il secondo, alla novità etica delle applicazioni nano e neuro-tecnologiche e dunque con riguardo alla questione se dalle nanotecnologie e dalle neurotecnologie nascano nuove questioni bioetiche o invece se esse siano ricollegabili a questioni già ampiamente dibattute in tema di tecnologia e salute umana.
----------
Within emerging technologies, nanotechnologies and neurotechnologies are peculiar both with regards to the scientific and technological applications and possibilities and with regards to the ethical dimension. With regard to this last one, the debate concerns a double meaning: the first one concern the necessity of the ethical reflection in these contexts especially when there are possible applications on the human being. The second, concern the novelty of the ethical issues generated by these technologies.
