The Canadian government reportedly is planning to release in February the world's first national regulation requiring companies to detail their use of engineered nanomaterials, according to environmental officials. The information gathered under the requirement will be used to evaluate the risks of engineered nanomaterials and will help to develop appropriate safety measures to protect human health and the environment.

Re: [EmergingTech] Looking for anthropologists/cultural ethnographers working on Emerging S&T issues

Hello Margaret-
You might want to look at the workers of the BIOS Centre at the London
School of Economics -- almost all of which are working on tech issues
(biobanking, neuroscience, reproductive tech, pharmaceuticals, etc) from a
sociological/anthropoligal/eth nographic perspective:

Germline modification carries risk of major social harm

Sir
Your Editorial 'New sources of sex cells' (Nature 452, 913; 2008), on the potential use of pluripotent stem-cell-derived gametes (PSCDGs) for germline genetic modification and enhancement, suggests that the prospect of stem-cell-derived gametes could trigger renewed calls for regulating human biotechnologies. In those discussions we must, as you warn, be wary of impeding basic research. But we must be equally willing to draw lines proscribing socially pernicious applications.
