[The principle of caution in medical education]

The relationship between the modern man and technology is full of paradoxes, even if it has been continuously proven that they cannot do without each other. From the debate in this field the superiority of the man on the world of technology has emerged, but not for those owning new generation technologies on the other men in the pre-tech era. The dominance belongs always to the man, as creator of the technology and user of the same, but above all to those having a competitive advantage because capable of grasping the innovation of new generation technologies and dedicating them to their service. The real problem is the intentional use done of technology seen as a service instrument to old and new patients or as an instrument of power for defining one's supremacy. The key point of the issue is ethics that is the responsibility with which men, who own the new generation technologies, renounce to exploit the other men using these new technologies, and show their superiority on technology, controlling their procedure and aims, since the man is definitively the person who re-invents it continuously.
