Abstract

The author hypothesizes that science and technology have positive and negative consequences for humanity, full of intention and purpose, and reflection of views, intentions, prejudices and privative objectives for each society. From this framework, the paper focuses on the field of bio/gene/ nanomedicine, which seeks to redress alleged disabilities, diseases and defects, but installs the ethical dilemma of whom decides what is disability, illness, or "defect ". The author proposes a path from the Declaration on Science from the World Science Conference of Unesco in 1999.
