The nanotechnology revolution opens a world of possibilities that make your imagination, its multiple applications and promises revive fears and other developments had awakened. Promises ranging from the hope of finding a cure hundreds of diseases, extend life, get new capabilities for humans to solve domestic and everyday problems such as laundry, food preservation for longer, etc. And fears ranging from royalty attacking armies of nanobots, a world of sophisticated and undetectable spy action to nanodrugs that are out of control. Against this background it is necessary to have the bioethics, as detached from ethical science becomes abstract, and a science divorced from ethics is dehumanized. But his work does not end there, it is necessary that these discussions are the input for the regulations that the State should do in legal matters.

Palabras clave : nanotechnology; bioethics; technological revolution.
