It first identifies some of the current uses and development status of this new technology, and looks at some of the ways in which different values and world views may help shape the research goals and priorities for nanotechnologies. After looking more specifically at some issues raised with the use of nanotechnology in the medical field for targeted drug delivery, and diagnostics, as well as in nano-enhanced food and human enhancement, the paper concludes by identifying the need for a two-way public dialogue and public engagement to occur.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Briefing paper</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
