First Anti-Cancer Nanoparticle Trial on Humans a Success

Look close. You may be staring at the end of cancer. Those tiny black dots are nanobots delivering a lethal blow to a cancerous cell, effectively killing it. The first trial on humans has been a success, with no side-effects:

It sneaks in, evades the immune system, delivers the siRNA, and the disassembled components exit out.
Those are the words of Mark Davis, head of the research team that created the nanobot anti-cancer army at the California Institute of Technology. According to a study to be published in Nature, Davis' team has discovered a clean, safe way to deliver RNAi sequences to cancerous cells. RNAi (Ribonucleic acid interference) is a technique that attacks specific genes in malign cells, disabling functions inside and killing them.

I actually didn't think that I would see this kind of progress made in my life time. VERY VERY cool.

way rad. i was just reading about it yesterday on pop-sci.

even forwarded it to my dad.

great, just what we need, a cure for cancer.






....wait, what?

I've just realized that nanobot weapons that can destroy the entire human race have probably existed for some time now.
