Summary: The theme of this research is nanotechnology, delimiting the study of the possible consequences of their development without limits in the idea of human rights. It aims to evidence the risks of nanotechnology from the point of view of protection of human rights and a possible new age of rights based on ethics as to realize the value of human dignity. It was opted for the literature and documents, with the deductive as a general rule and inductive method in some reflections. The need to protect the dignity of the human person emerges in postmodernity, in a new aspect, by reason of the risks that are linked to new technologies. Therefore, the value of ethics, combined with the principles of fundamental human rights, presents itself as a viable alternative to face the challenges posed by nanotechnology, since this value also derive other and principles with the potential to direct the development of a plateau safety and sustainability.
