As part of the EC-funded Nano2Life program, Aharon Hauptman and Yair Sharanhaupt of the Interdisciplinary Center for Technology Analysis and Forecasting (ICTAF) at Tel-Aviv University have written a 39-page report titled ?Envisioned Developments in Nanobiotechnology? based on a survey of 139 experts from 30 countries. The 50% median date estimate from ?experts and knowledgeable? for sample statements among the 20 tested are as follows:

2008: Nano-agents for analysis inside cells
2013: Nanotools for manipulation inside cells
2015: Self-repairing in artificial systems
2018: In vitro construction of human organs
2021: Nanomachines inside the body

This was something that i found on the foresight site that i thought was noteworthy news.

This is very profound Bob.  It means that people will be able to live to be  hundreds of years old.  The question is "which people"?   :laugh:
