Nanobots

"Currently medical science is working on developing very small computers called nanobots to repair damage to the human body. If successful, nanobots will repair your body on a cellular level. This menas if you broke your arm a doctor could give you an injection of nanites to sew your bones and tissues up. Your arms could be healed in days not months!All sorts of medical issues could be corrected though their use. They could repair your body from the inside. Doctors could use the nanites to "see" inside your body and give them directions on how to fix it. After their job is done they would turn off and be passed out of your system as waste.What is your opinon of this type of medicine?"

This technological advancement scares me. I don't like the thought of it at all. First of all, I feel that the world's massive overpopulation is due to modern medicine. Women don't die from childbirth anymore and premature babies can live, and even be healthy. People don't even die from AIDS anymore, assuming they take medication. Pretty soon, we'll have cured cancer, then where will natural selection have gone?

It makes me wonder how much more risky people will be. If the breaking of a limb is not debilitating, why drive safely? If taking drugs and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol can be fixed so easily, why take care of yourself? It seems also like medicine like this will make it possible for people to live much longer, which just isn't natural. Peope are meant to live about 80-90 years, then die. People dying less and living longer, all while babies are still born and basically made to live would most certainly give way to even greater overpopulation. At the rate at which we're destroying the planet now, it would only be destroyed faster with more and more people.

I do not agree with this type of medicine and I hope it never happens!
