[Lilug] The insanity of all biometric data.

[odinson]

IMO due to CRISPR 'Thicker than Blood' could happen ANY time now.

Yeah really.  2016.  So nanites are no longer off topic for an open source 
forum, any more than personal computers were off topic in 1979, or SWIFT 
in 2010.

Glad you enjoyed my ideas.  :)  It's only logical that widely proliferated 
diseases have advantages under some circumstances.  Please let me know if 
it's applicable to your life, benifical or detrimental.
