	Ethical Aspects of Nanomedicine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The potential benefits of nanomedicine are wrongly extrapolated into a view of the human being as a mere composition of atoms and molecules.
		In the 21st century this operational specialization may become complete, since nanomedicine phenomenologically regards the human body as an intricately structured machine with trillions of complex interacting parts, with each part (and each subsystem of parts) subject to individual scrutiny, repair, and possibly replacement by artificial technological means.
		The main outcome of nanomedicine seems to be the increase of personal responsibility of people for what they believe to be "healthy" of "good" for them and for future generations.

	Nanomedicine makes it better (July 2002) - Features - nanotechweb.org
		In 1966 the feature film Fantastic Voyage saw a team of scientists shrink a submarine - including its crew - and insert it into the bloodstream of a dying man. It being a Hollywood movie, the man was saved and the crew were successfully resized to live another day.
		Roughly 40 years later, nanomedicine certainly hasn't brought us miniaturized doctors and nurses, but recent advances mean that inserting nanodevices (so-called nanobots) into blood vessels is almost out of the realms of science fiction.
		If the promise of nanomedicine holds true, we'll be able to avoid those side-effects and we'll have better response to therapy because we'll know who to give it to and how to give it.
