The nanoparticles could have a "sense" that blood flow has been severely dimished. (Weak heatbeat detected or rising CO2.) It doesn't matter if it's through accident or stroke. The nanites would start "collecting" O2 from fatty tissue or other non-brain tissue (nerve) in its location, and freeing the oxygen, or stripping it from CO2 directly, so the brain or other oxygen deprived tissues in its location can survive longer during accidents. Such a dramatic breakthru would make 21st century participants almost seem immortal. This would be an EXCELLENT injectable feature to give our soldiers just before combat to increase survival. The CPU/Human merger is also quite intriguing, btw.]]>Jul 19th 2008 9:28PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/07/19/robot-human-merger-may-be-coming-soon/http://www.switched.com/2008/07/19/robot-human-merger-may-be-coming-soon/Jul 20th 2008 5:50AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/07/19/robot-human-merger-may-be-coming-soon/http://www.switched.com/2008/07/19/robot-human-merger-may-be-coming-soon/Jul 20th 2008 11:42AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/07/19/robot-human-merger-may-be-coming-soon/http://www.switched.com/2008/07/19/robot-human-merger-may-be-coming-soon/

In other words, do you want sociopaths to be able to beat the tar out of you without breaking a sweat? What about bionic pedophiles, how are you going to deal with THAT problem? It's one thing to cure disease or help augment people who lost functionality from accidents or violence. It's another thing entirely to try and recreate the ideals of Hitler's super race (Transhumanism is nothing more than a different name for Eugenics) just because you can do so.]]>Jul 21st 2008 3:56PM
