Journal of Geoethical Nanotechnology

The Journal of Geoethical Nanotechnology is currently on sabbatical. Please follow the Journal of Personal Cyberconsciousness for new content.

The Journal of Geoethical Nanotechnology explores economic, political, social and technological aspects of the developing technology of molecular nanotechnology. The Journal invites submissions on controversial topics such as self-replication and governance.


Journal of Geoethical nanotechnology, Volume 9 – 2014

Content:
Ethics of Perception and Nanocognition (Nano-Aided Cognition)
Melanie Swan illustrates the ethics of perception, nanocognition and nanorobot-aided cognition toward a more internally aware, connected, expressive, expansive and freer life as beings in the technological era, developing an ethics of immanence.

On The Recurrent Functional Restoration And Indefinite Functional Perpetuation Of The Central Nervous System
Franco Cortese explores ‘gradual mind uploading’ and whole-brain emulation within restorative and regenerative medicine, linking them to biomedical gerontology. He discusses various medical practices and proposes a system to differentiate them, concluding that the indefinite maintenance of the central nervous system can be achieved through continuous restoration of its key components.

Aviation Regulation As A Model For Nanotech Regulation
Dr. Martine Rothblatt discusses the geoethical benefits of private and public aviation regulation toward creating a similarly based safe harbor for nanotechnology regulation.

Nanoscience, Nanoengineering and Nanotechnology
Dr. Lou Balogh sheds light on the term ‘nanotechnology’ and its science, engineering and policies for practical and sustainable human purposes.
