Abstract
Since a significant time ago, although time runs very fast,
nanotechnology transformed from one of the most promising scientific
hopes in uncountable human domains into a marvelous certainty.
Innumerable scientific studies in several areas of knowledge were made
since nanoscale emergence, carrying their contribution to the nanoscience
development, leading to a great development of technical and scientific
knowledge but also raising numerous problems in the ethical field. In this
chapter, nanotechnology is discussed both in terms of ethics and in terms
of borders that nanotechnology applications must satisfy and concluding
notes are presented, highlighting the results of the analysis. Significant
considerations are made on the close connection between ethics and the
nanotechnology and the effects over the society and values
