I knew this could happen when I first heard of nanotech
in the early 1990s. I emailed a scientist who didn't answer,
this point. Those little machines you want to put in people,
are also chemicals. Just what, as chemicals, are they
going to do in the human body, eh?
Now I was thinking of possible unplanned molecular
interaction of a non mechanical but more standard
chemical style of these molecules.
But this threat is a more viable one, that nanotubes can
act like asbestos in the lungs, and being so tiny can travel
into the blood stream and into the liver and brain, and that
nanoized titanium dioxide is toxic (closer to my original
worry).
