A question: is it possible to make them carry some other message? Like, is it possible to replace pieces of DNA with this method?

1st the FDA and its huge backload of approved drugs and incredible costs
2nd scumbag lawyers suing for even the slightest of side effects and the subsequent cost.

aspirin would never pass FDA approval today if it had to go through approval despite the millions it has saved via cardiac conditions.

2 things
first,
fire is every bit as deadly as cancer or HIV. yet we use the miraculous technology to heat our home and cook our food dispite the fact it can kill us all.
second,
cancer cells give of different biochemical signatures then healthy cells so using DNA nanorobots makes as much sense as having an immune system which can also kill us all when faced with an alergic reaction.

So please enough with the drama and pessimism BS

Isn’t that what HIV does to white blood cells (immune system)? So what they’re telling us is they know how to build something as dangerous as AIDS.

And just why does the mainstream medical field so avoid the news of nanorobotics? It’s obvious nano (possibly even just micro) technology can cure, without question, 100% of all known and unknown diseases if the technology were streamlined and advanced enough. He who controls atoms can control cells. You can’t argue that if you control cells, you can’t stop diseases, because all diseases are based on our cells, so, in essense, the cure to cancer has already been invented and tested! It has killed cancer cells with frightening efficiency. We know the technology works. Yes, it will take anoter decade or two for it to become mainstream, but these advances are far more important, IMO, than “Katy Perry and Russel Brand Split”. I mean, really.

why do we continually hear about these cancer break throughs and nothing ever gets to market?
