What, then, is your suggested course of action? Certainly this scenario seems possible, but it just emphasizes the importance of aggressive research in protective nanotech.
If nanotech as we think of it is attainable, then it is only a matter of time before someone developes it. We need public conversation about the dangers of nanotech, and support of the researchers who are working towards the control of this new technology.
