fergusonComments-Anna

memo22 My sequencing of comments are all messed up so you'll just end up getting three this time. Optional corrosions that might be useful: 1. There is a study out that compares the moral acceptability of nanotechnology between U.S. citizens and EU citizens. The U.S. acceptability was less than 30% while different countries in the EU (UK, France, and Italy I think) were much higher. The authors claim it is a religious issue, which I think is bullshit, but the differences in perceptions might be interesting. 2. Do people actually care about nanotechnology? I keep getting the feeling that nano (and to an even greater extent synth bio) have learned from biotech controversy and have preempted conflict, creating situations where people feel comforted in the efforts made by industry and regulators. 3. How does the divergence between the molecular manufacturing group and the more mundane novel chemical interaction nanotechnologist act as both catalyst and corrosion?
