Ethical, Legal, and Societal Implications
This portion of a larger Ethical, Legal, and Societal Implications (ELSI) research project aims to (1) identify key decisions and associated societal issues along the research-to-deployment trajectory; and (2) anticipate the implications of alternative choices upstream (e.g., for R&D) and downstream (e.g., for commercialization and deployment). We have begun to interview Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) scientists to elicit their perspectives on key transitions within the R&D life cycle. This information (1) identifies opportunities for ELSI analyses useful to nanoscience and ELSI research communities; (2) specifies potential topics for new nanoscience R&D; and (3) anticipates issues that may affect how the R&D life cycle evolves.
