Hey guys, I am a computer engineering student hoping to get my MS /PHD in Nano-engineering/Biomedical engineering. With all of the developments that are coming out both in the medical field and now engineering is being incorporated I have a theory that within the next 10-20 years humans will be able to expand their lifespans by 40-60 years.
Idea: You have self replicating Organic Nano-bots that live off of the environment around you.Thermal,etc. They are constantly fixing,repairing and regenerating new cells so that your body doesn't slow down and age.Without them of course you would, but with them you would age very slowly. Helping fix organ failures and kill deadly bacteria. I think NB's are the way of the future.
Second proposition is having bots that can sustain themselves long enough and then they die/poop them out and then you end up consuming them again.?
What do you think about the idea . I know its grandiose and seems really sci-fi but what would I need to take into account ?
Sure go ahead and make a NB with the capacity to do any mechanical work.
I'm of the opinion it's easier to program bacteria to do our work for us instead of making NBs.

Ok so how do you make self replicating Organic Nano-bots?
>> live off of thermal No.
>> Fixing, repairing, and regenerating cells How?
Ok go ahead and program bacteria to do this. First off, how are you going to get them to avoid the immune response? Second how do you coordinate them to get stuff done?

This sounds like an idea made by a 14 year old with no actual experience with Nanotechnology

Seconded. I work on nanotech(no not the glorified material science kind), and the field is way way way far off from making anything like OP described.
One conference talk I saw was on proving that this tiny nano-mechanism moved at all. This took a lot of very difficult and expensive lab work, all just to prove that it moved.

That's a Star Trek-tier popsci idea. If you have zero idea about the possibilities with curernt tech and the state of current tech then you probably won't even be a good CE. How are you going to do NE or BiomedE if you don't even at least autodidactically learn things to avoid stupid shit like this. Take a look at bioinformatics so you can realise how complex a cell is. Whether something is feasible depends on what you can do with current tech and how you can improve it and not on a popsci tier good idea.
>I know its grandiose and seems really sci-fi but what would I need to take into account ? Around 1% of currently known shit and discovery the remaining 99% shit required.

>starts out by telling everyone about himself Yeah you're not going to get anything done.

Actually everyone told me about the hurdles of doing this. Not sure if by the time I get done with graduate school that this will be an option. I am pretty sure everyone here is a notable scientist with good enough credit and not some loser fag who barely passed calculus. But for those who put their honest opinion/knowledge I really appreciate it.
