 The ethical and socio-political dimensions of technology are topics that have received great attention in the region. For instance, Jorge Linares Salgado (2018) analyzes the ethical and societal consequences of the production of bio-artifacts derived from synthetic biology. A more specific study is offered by Carlos Osorio Marulanda (2018), who addresses the problems related with drinking water production, especially in rural areas of Latin America, from the perspective of science, technology, and society (STS) studies.
