Should the developments in nano technology be slowed realising the fact that we might not be ready?

If we can make it we are ready to use it. There are many who will ask if we were ready for the atomic bomb? Yes we were.It saved the lives of our soldiers and most likely the lives of our enemy as well.

Would it have been better if nuclear weapons were never invented? Possibly but they would have been invented regardless so it is better that we were first.

No. When were we consciously ready for anything?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
