| Abstract | This volume discusses the important role bioethics plays in the professional life of engineers, especially biomedical engineers. The book discusses the how engineers can incorporate a wide array of societal perspectives into their work without sacrificing sound science and good design principles. It looks at emerging fields such as nanobiotechnology, green engineering, public attitudes regarding these fields, and the full array of environmental, and the health and societal issues that need to be addressed by engineers and scientists within a global context. |
