The type of nano-technology policy dilemmas discussed include: (1) expenditure of public funds, (2) public-funded research priorities, (3) public confidence in government and science and, finally, (4) public safety. The article examines the value in this context of a legal obligation that the development of relevant public health law be calibrated against less corporate-infuenced norms issuing from bioethics and international human rights.Keywords: bioethics; conference paper; economics; health; health care policy; human; human rights; legal aspect; nanotechnology; organization and management; public health; Bioethics; Health Policy; Human Rights; Humans; Nanotechnology; Public Health; Security Meas200710.1111/j.1748-720X.2007.00186.x2015-12-09
