CONSEQUENCES
The outcome of essentially using these nanobots for medical purposes would be various
consequences, ranging from positive to negative. The positives would be the new technology.
Since nanobots are an extremely foreign concept presently, it would make sense that exposing
the world to the possibilities of these sorts of realities would result in other new technology as
well. The nanobots could become the basis of other future technologies for healthcare. Another
positive would be the improved lives of many. Strokes have been around for quite a while, and
even with the current solutions to it, many still have its own limitations and are often restricted
for some. Nanobots would pose fewer risks, and treat strokes faster than the current devices are
capable of.
There are some obvious negative financial consequences. The nanobot technology is not reusable on patients because the nanobots make full contact with the blood of a patient, and are very small and extremely difficult if not impossible to be able to fully sterilize. It would also be difficult to manufacture the nanobots with the included laser software to remove the blockage itself. Also, each patient needs multiple nanobots for each treatment, causing the production rate to go up. There are also safety hazards, such as if a nanobot got stuck inside a patient’s body and wasn’t able to be removed. This would be very dangerous to the human body and would cause serious medical issues. Since this treatment would be simple to activate and control by injecting it into the patient’s body, many doctors could also lose their jobs.
