- libervisco, on 11/01/2008, -0/+11Immortality is near. ;) Seriously, all you need for immortality is super-fast regeneration and as this technology continues to develop it isn't too hard to imagine now having nanobots in your body ready to swarm right to whatever damage there is in the body and fix it. And if you can fix any damage in the body pretty much nothing can kill you, so you become effectively immortal.
And all you'd need to do is drink a juice or something with those nanbots in it every day or every week depending on how fast the nanobots can last in the body. - cantaclaro, on 11/01/2008, -0/+6This is the first magical step in clearing my future clogged arteries. Awesome.
Opens a fresh pound of bacon. - libervisco, on 11/01/2008, -0/+4Maybe you confused science fiction with science?
In reality, fiction comes first, then science. You first have to imagine something before you can make it happen. But imagining is easier than making it happen. :)
That said, I do think that if people didn't bother with such stupidity as politics, war and such and instead focused on making their and lives of others better, technology would probably evolve even faster. So.. yeah.. but I wouldn't blame scientists so much. - Garofoli, on 11/01/2008, -1/+4We're so close to Fantastic Voyage, I can feel it.
- inactive, on 11/01/2008, -1/+3BODY WARS!

- smoothmann, on 11/01/2008, -0/+1Anybody remember the microbots from The Island?
They crawl in your eye........then you piss them out later - NanoStuff, on 11/02/2008, -0/+1All you need for immortality is to defy the mathematically established laws of probability.
- Lagstorm, on 11/01/2008, -0/+1Bacon!
- dizzythegreat, on 11/01/2008, -1/+2You mean...
NANITES!?!?!?! - Sloi, on 11/01/2008, -0/+1Dugg for hopeful idealism. I want this to be real.
- DigitAl56K, on 11/01/2008, -1/+2This isn't a nanobot, it's a nanocyborg.
- EffYoo, on 11/01/2008, -1/+27 of 9 approves
- keeganspeck, on 11/01/2008, -1/+1Let's make sure they don't swarm and evolve, picking us off one by one. We'll have to break out the thermite and the MRIs.
- dafragsta, on 11/01/2008, -1/+1You just digested the bad guy.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 11/02/2008, -1/+1That would be a "nano-borg." Nano-bots would be pure robots. Don't these folks watch enough science fiction?
- aComa, on 11/01/2008, -0/+0It's Beggin Strips...
Dogs don't know it's not bacon. - inactive, on 11/01/2008, -1/+1Creepy!
- Malik112099, on 11/02/2008, -1/+1Great! One step closer to death by FoxDie.
- Wakkyweed, on 11/01/2008, -1/+1That's great and all, but somehow it's not the same without Raquel Welch involved.
- valkyrie123, on 11/02/2008, -1/+1We are Borg, you will be assimilated, resistance is futile.
- DarlokDC, on 10/31/2008, -1/+1Inner Space is finally real! Someone tell Quaid.
- Vaskealf, on 11/02/2008, -0/+0If they just make sure the bacteria suffers aptopsis right after delivery, then they wouldn't be very dangerous, merely a supplementary nutrient:)
- TecChief, on 11/02/2008, -1/+1nanobots are fine, until they become self-replicating autonomous nanobots, then we're *****.
- FatLoser, on 11/01/2008, -2/+1I remember hearing about this about 10 years ago. Why is it not a reality yet? Lazy *****. Science needs to quit creating dupes and put up some ***** science already. Enough talk you ***** scientists. Make something work right now and don't blow smoke up our asses for decades in advance.
- Agentdvd, on 11/01/2008, -1/+0We're screwed.
