Author

Abstract

Nanotechnology promise various applications in medicine, electronic, environment and etc. Nanotechnology is the science of control and manipulate of materials in nanoscale. Scientists believe that through nanotechnology utilization they can bring welfare to human being. These kinds of applications are able to realize right to health. This paper examines the aspect of right to health and effects of nanotechnology on the aspect of right to health as well. It will come to the conclusion that there are two fundamental challenges to nanotechnology, one relates to the dominant polices of international trade and intellectual property, and the other concern harmful effects of nanomaterials on environment and human health.
