This article represents the results of the research granted by RFFS № 04-06-80192. The high technologies foundation is based on fundamental research. Inclusion of bioethical and environmental problems in a context of scientific activity becomes the specifics of a modern science. Nanotechnology fundamental researches lead to a change of the world picture, which bases now on the laws of quantum mechanics. Creating nanotechnology, a person enters competition with the nature as aspires to receive the control over mi- croscopic processes and structures, although himself can become a slave of nanotechnology.
