The transcript for the latest SAGE Crossroads webcast is available. To quote the Foresight Institute's Christine Peterson, "we want a system that works at the molecular level, that gives you the benefits of surgery, three-dimensional control, bring it all the way down to the molecular level, and combine it with the chemical action of drugs, to change bonds, do the kinds of things you need to do to actually heal the patient. ... You can read about this in a series of books, for example, which start with the word 'nanomedicine.' If you were interested in the future of medicine, in the long-term future, the books on nanomedicine would be a place to start." She goes on to a good discussion of healthy life extension research and those who oppose it - well worth your time to read.
