Although if it could somehow use energy to fry the cancer cells, and it could be recharged (maybe by having the person hang out in a specific magnetic field?), that would be really really cool.

(sigh) you strike me as the God type anyway so there is probably no chance of talking any sense into you. To the person who wrote the first comment,

"If you look at every bad intention with it, yes you waterboarding boyo, nano-tech was going to happen. Don’t blame the gun for killing the person, blame the person holding the gun. Technology is advancing, you can’t help it, the best you can do is prepare for it and learn as much about it so you know how it works and what to look for." If you live in America where people in charge don't give fuck about their people and keep abusing their ignorance, you'll honestly think that the government won't find a way to abuse this technology? Know your every move, know what you ate and drank, can see what you see and possibly with a push of the button they can kill you if you engage in any anti-government activities. This nano shit sounds wonderful, but flip the coin and see how it can be abused. Nathan P,

This stuff happens ALL THE TIME. What do you think happened when Chemotherapy was announced? I can BET that people were like, "I'm going to be bombarded by radiation AND lose all my hair! No thank you i'll stick with the cancer!" but people still did it. The fact is that the world is coming to nano-tech and that people will be for it or against it, based on the circumstances. If you do not like this idea, you don't, and you will not be FORCED into doing it. For everyone else who knew this was coming and are going to embrace it, yay us.

Technology is advancing, you can't help it, the best you can do is prepare for it and learn as much about it so you know how it works and what to look for. Please quit complaining about stuff you should have known was coming, and looking at all the bad implications of it... They will not put holes in organs that kill you, they are trying out the pieces of the machine to make sure it works fine and won't break down, and many other things that you are all worried about it. If you thought of it, the people with the doctorates who do this for a living probably thought of it too... chill out and have a pop-tart... thanks Ok here is the run down for everyone here that is whining about the changing of the times.
