Developing the "Particle Replacer" Scott Holloway When I was young, my mind boiled with ideas. I dreamed of engineering what I thought of as the "particle replacer," or object replicator. Taking a hint from Star Trek: The Next Generation, this invention would scan any object that one may have; say, a gold ring. From the “raw materials“ bin of the device it would use the raw material (e.g., dirt) that is given an exact copy of the same gold ring would be produced. This device would

knowledge/skills in pursuit ofaddressing a problem/need is a fundamentally ethical act. It is ethics first and engineeringsecond. Ethics is not an afterthought, but neither is engineering. Ethics is found in the richexperiences of relating to ourselves and to others. In this framing, ethics is about living and, inliving, responding with care and an inquiring mind to the exigencies born from relationality.Engineering is one mode of responding to life lived in a world of interaction. Through a livedethics, we (re)fashion ourselves, others, and the world in which we dwell.
