Wow...don't you think that they'll run into a lot of legal trouble with chipping citizens?
***Do you think that nanotechnology could possibly make humans immortal?

well as for the keeping immortal part that would be a no for now, for the future it is possible considering they can take a pigs heart, bleach it and then form it back up with stem cells to make a newly functioning heart. but as nano-tech stands now it is mainly used for tech purposes as opposed to medical. a con could be that the nano-tech could theoretically malfunction and have the opposite effect that is intended...

How could one such as myself answer such a question without so much as a second glance?

actually Marine, nanotechnology has a lot of medical uses and it is already being used in some products (such as sunscreen and car paints). Nano particles also act completely differently than the same substance at a tangible size....now THAT is crazy!

well I know that they are planning to extend the use of nanotechnology and are already designing plenty of ways to improve health, Im just saying you can find more uses of nanotech in tech than you can in health... Im not saying its not in health :p
