Excerpt:
… Just a decade ago, it was unthinkable that an electronic program could cause disease. It was absurd to think that a string of zeroes and ones could do this. And yet, it’s time to recognize that this is what is happening. We blurred the line between the biological and the technological when we used nanotechnology as artificial cells to monitor our health, deliver drugs into our systems with unprecedented efficiency, and target tissue for repair or, as in the case with cancer, destruction. How long did we think we could get away with this without consequence? The Zero Virus may be a machine, but make no mistake, it is a disease, and we must treat it as such.
