Pros Of Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is a science and engineering technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is 1 to 100 nanometers, so basically speaking it’s a manipulation or changing in matter. Some people have thought that that this revolutionary science has just been discovered, but it has been discovered ever since the 1950’s , yet the technology had finally called a study of science in the 1980’s paving the way of nanotechnology discoveries and advancements. However, many people are only aware of the capability in the outside world, but not in the medical field and some may speculate that nanotechnology would not affect the medical field. Nanotechnology should change the medical field because it can lead to finding the cure for cancer, growing and forming …show more content…
Cancer is basically when the part of the DNA that is damaged or missing and mutations occur causing tumors around the body. Chemotherapy and anti-cancer drugs do kill cancer cells but they attack white blood cells as well. Currently, there was an introduction of Gene therapy, in which according to Najarula Isalama he stated that the therapy “Disable oncogenes to fuel immune cells to attack cancer cells and down-regulate angiogenesis” (Pg.128). The Second reason that nanotech will change the medical field is because we can grow and get new limbs or organs. T-cells are neutral cells that can be formed into any type of tissue or organ if DNA from the cell is transmitted to the t cell. For example, if heart tissue cells are transmitted to t-cells it will forge heart tissue. This can greatly benefit any veterans who lost arms or their legs, so instead of getting an artificial limb, which is more expensive and regrowing the limb can produce a natural feel and cure the phantom limb phenomenon. The third reason is because we can repair and heal ourselves internally. Nanobots will enter the body, scan around, repair any damage internally. Instead of opening up the body, you just insert them from a needle or they swallow them; it saves time and it can dramatically lower the chance of infections. An example, according to, what are the capabilities of nanobots? It states that when they enter the …show more content…
After a number of different tests doctors had thought of it as a stomach virus but after blood had been drawn , the tests had shown , that she was diagnosed with a severe acute lymphoblastic leukemia , a type of blood cancer that has around a twenty-five percent chance for survival for her severe case , so with the risk of her dying in a couple months , even with all the treatments like chemotherapy not helping ,her parents took the risk to try a new technology ,so they tried with nanotech ,doctors and scientists create the first genetically modified immune cells. Doctors had noted that there is no for sure if this type of treatment will be successful but they went for the compromise that could have no effect on her at all. Two months later, all traces of the cancer had been removed and it was thought to be a miracle. This form of gene therapy had saved the little girl’s life. The cells that were added were regular frozen donated t-cells that had been transformed into white blood cells they were then modified with an anti-cancer coding causing the elimination of only cancer cells .She is currently, now cancer free and is living life normally. Next a woman named, Chicagoan Leshea Thomas, had her first sickle cell crisis when she was just 8 months old. Her disease became progressively worse as an adult, particularly after the
