Nanotechnology's Importance

Sources

Nanotechnology is important to this procedure because without it there would be no way to make the nanorobots or even think about using nanotechnology in surgery.

The Science Behind Nano-Surgery

Nano-Surgery

Nanosurgery is based mainly on cancer research and making cancer surgeries more precise. When surgeons try to cut the cancer out of bodies, they can't do it with 100% precision. These controlled nanorobots might be the solution to that problem.

Our View

Although this nanosurgery is the closest we can get for a cure for cancer, we don't know if a cure for cancer would be a good thing in the long run.

Ethical Questions

Population Increase

Corrupted Use

This would create a definite difference with the poor and the rich as the rich would be the only ones able to afford this surgical procedure. However, once the surgery becomes more common, all the new healthy people will come in the millions and that would be millions of more people for the planet to support.

Could nano-surgery become the start for corrupted medical action such as designer babies, gene therapy, etc.? Could this solution for cancer being available cause populations to increase and also cause job losses? How many jobs would be lost with this invention?

This procedure could be the beginning of medical corruption; this new knowledge could easily become Gattaca and there would be robots in our body "just because." This could also lead to designer babies and more ethically controversial medical concepts.
