Well if we have nanochondria capable of duplicating themselves
when its host cell undergoes mitosis/meiosis, could we not
create a wholly networked ecology just by implanting a few
well chosen egg cells and seed cells with such?
Especially so if the implants also gave the resultant life
form minor evolutionary advantages... just stand back and
watch them take over.
It seems to me that this merging of nanotechnology with
cellular biology could be an important tool towards
an incremental rather than apocalyptic transhumanism... and
that incremental transhumanism would be vastly preferable
to anyone currently aiming at long term survival... thats
us, right?
