...the "outer limits" are, (other than the bad, gray goo idea of rampant assemblers). It seems limitless if machines can organize and arrange molecules. It seems possible, in a realistic future, where nanites, in the same number as human cells in a person, say, could keep reconstructing the cells and extend life quite a bit. What do you think?

Not yet but perhaps in the future...The smallest robots now are nanobots....

It is now possible for scientists to IMAGINE making a robot smaller than DNA. Before now, that was just for the science fiction writers. I think your imagination is a little ahead of reality.

WOW freaky, I really don't know what to think of your question. You explain that they could rearrange cells, but the question would be who wants to live for ever. I mean, I love life but I don't think I want to be like 500 years with no teeths and grabbing onto my own skin as not to trip on it

Its sound plausible but i would think that we are decades if not centuries away from that. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to man if we developed machines that fought diseases such as AIDS and Cancer?
