ludi wrote:Eh? The body processes countless cell deaths every day. The "chunk of dead, necrotic tissue" scenario typically occurs after a bacterial invasion that overwhelms the body's ability to clean house.
Redocbew wrote:True, but depending on how industrious this little bio-bot is it may overwhelm the body's natural capacity. I was thinking of things like obstructed bowels which can cause a significant amount of tissue death inside the body. That's maybe not the best example since that can also let gut bacteria out on the loose, but we're basically talking about inducing gangrene here. Since this is all internal we may not be able to just ignore how the dead stuff gets expelled from the body.

I read into that that you care less about life extension than you do about forcing humanity down your chosen path.
Don't debate Asimov with me unless you're really ready.

And the track record of those wanting to "reshape the human condition" is??? I've read all of those novels and it never ends well for those who desire to remain 100% unenhanced human.
You say "reshape", I hear "bend it to my will". Sorta comes with the gray hair.

Citation needed. How do you know it isn't over rated?
I took a quick look for first hand accounts, but so far there seems to be a remarkable lack of documentation from credible witnesses...
