This report highlights three technological trends which might be very relevant for the Committee on Bioethics.
First of all, new types of developments are observed within the medical domain: from neuro-modulation techniques to molecular medicine.
Our study further shows that NBIC convergence enables the application of biomedical technologies outside the professional medical domain.
Finally we see, as a result of this development, an increasing use of biomedical tools and bio-data for non-medical purposes, like gaming, entertainment, marketing, coaching, and human or social enhancement.
