will nanotechnology lengthen life expectancy?

Answer 1

If used proper yes it could.
The only problem is I dont want anyone sticking and kind of chip in me or other programmable device.
Its all a con to get the new world order bush sr was preaching up and running.

Answer 2

Definitely. There is so much potential in Nanotechnology that it gives me goose bumps just thinking of the possibilities. It's exciting to me because the university I go to has the only college in the country dedicated solely to Nanoscience and Technology. It's called the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at the University at Albany.

Answer 3

Average life expectancy will increase for sure because the ability of nano-technology to cure many diseases & conditions that threaten life more effectively than current methods will ensure more people live longer. In order to increase the individuals life span however we would need to combine this technology with a greater understanding of how to correct genetic errors as cells reproduce .... this knowledge will not be easily gained... particularly once the religious majority start moaning about people "playing god" again.

Answer 4

Definitely, life expectancy will increase with the use and introduction of nanotechnology.
Since it will be possible with the use of that kind of technology to actually manipulate atoms, and grow molecules, individual strands of DNA could be edited and corrected of inherited disease.
Cancers, tumors, infections could all be fought on a molecular level. Presently, even with the best of surgeries it's nearly impossible to completely excise cancerous tissue. On the molecular level, it would be possible to completely illuminate the invasive infection or organisms.

Answer 5

Nope - as soon as proper nanotech drugs are developed, the tech is likely to be handed over to the military-industrial complex to produce nanotech poisons and weapons.

Imagine a self-replicating nanovirus that would survive in most aquatic environments - could be passed through the water system and kill without sound...

Answer 6

Depends what it is used for...

For injection into humans to stop the onset of debilitating diseases, then yeah...

To stop the natural aging process, then yeah...

But would it ever happen, probably not...

Would be better to get the nanities to change the human body to adapt to adverse conditions... Make the skin thicker, to make the brain function better.. To allow us to breath different chemicals and chemical compounds... Allow us to survive underwater and in the vastness of space...

Answer 7

Yes. If your name is Nan, and you believe in Technology.
Otherwise , lie down in a darkened room for 4 days, and these strange idea's will go away.

Answer 8

I doubt it, when your hourglass runs out of sand, that is it. No one is immune to death. Besides, there is life support, which can make your organs run indefinately, but you are not REALLY living, you are merely existing.

Answer 9

According to what I've heard on Coast To Coast!

Answer 10

Yes, eventually!
