Is nanotechnology immoral?

Nanotechnology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I found this interesting. type in the above question on google and you get some responses.

Basically it goes a step beyond cloning and people claim that NT plays god. I don't particularly buy that, but one news story--which I was unable to find on a google search but read of it weeks ago--said that the laws of physics do not operate at that level the way they do here: solids become liquids at room temp., etc.

Americans, at least those surveyed, said it was immoral. This was immediately blamed on the fundamentalists. Now I consider myself really fundy (except for the drama thread!) but I couldn't find anything immediately immoral about it.
