The nanotechnological golem
NanoEthics 4 (3):191-198 (2010)

We give reasons for the importance of old narratives, including myths, in ethical thinking about science and technology. On the example of a legend about creating artificial men we explore the side effects of having too much success and the problem of intermediate social status of bioengineered artefactsAuthor's Profile
