For those of you who don't know, nanotechnology is the creation of technology at the atomical scale: basically, you're rearranging the atoms in materials to create new ones. There has been much controversy over the use of nanotechnology: many people believe it may pose ethical and physical problems. These are divided into three main categories: societal, health, and environmental implications. Many people believe that more and more people will be dependent on nanotechnology in the future, allowing it to take the jobs of humans, rendering the human race unnecessary. But nanotechnology has many potential benefits, like new medicines, creation of food for poor countries, etc. Do you think that nanotechnology would be worth it?

Screw Morality! I'm up for it, If it will make my life longer and make me more invulnerable to diseases, I wont mind mind having those tiny robots inside my body.I remember scientist were already developing tiny robots to be injected to a human body, those robots will kill cancers, restore blood circulation and fight diseases, they will run on our body's electrical charges.

It could be. Technological advances are coming along so quickly that we need alot of help insuring that that continues at such a stagering rate. Sadly this is true.
