Abstract

It has been postulated in the debate on the ethics of nanotechnology that a new “nano-ethics” is necessary. In this contribution, an attempt is made to discover new ethical aspects of nanotechnology in a more systematic manner than has been the case. It turns out that there are hardly any completely new ethical aspects raised by nanotechnology.
