Dude, you should read Dr. Ben Bova's articles on longevity. Just the new breakthroughs in stem cell therapy alone will revolutionize our lives.

There's no telling how long people will be able to live with the rapid advances in technologies. We may well hear within weeks or even months of a breakthrough so astounding our lives will never be the same ( hint! hint! ).

The danger with nanites is if put to evil use we could do some serious, serious fucking up like on a cosmic scale.

Perhaps we'll all realize the best thing for us to do as species is go out and fish and play soccer and take care of one another.
