What could go wrong during a nanomedical procedure?
The incompetence or negligence of medical personnel is always a potential concern. However, in the nanomedical era, as today, such occurrences should be infrequent and notorious. A true glitch will come from some direction that nobody anticipated. Biocompatibility problems are well anticipated, and multiple-redundant onboard computers should ensure safe operation, correct operation, and reprogrammability of operational parameters even after the devices have been launched on their missionespecially to permit deactivation if anything goes wrong. Fail-stop protocols may be particularly appropriate in high-risk missions where large numbers of replacement nanorobots are readily available. Therefore, the most serious problems may devolve from the inherent complexity of a trillion machines independently trying to cooperatively work on a very complex repair problem in a short period of time. One class of malfunction might involve some unexpected emergent machine-machine interactionthe kind of
