key to immortality is to copy your consciousness/brain/personality into a machine/robot/cyborg. then even when your body dies, technically you still live.

Debate is still ongoing on the idea of consciousness/mind. How does consciousness appear? Can consciousness be created/made? What happens to humans after they die? What happens to their consciousness? Do animals have consciousness? Do plants have consciousness?

What more important is... SIDE EFFECTS~~

Its scarier when playing things with something like nanobots inside the human body. It makes a good fiction but in reality, its worrying if its used illegally and made another venture for crime.

I agree with you. I can already imagine what kind of control a person can exert on another when there are tiny robots in the person. The person controlling the robots in others will be able to control their lifes (eg. through threats etc.). And imagine if these robots malfunction inside a person, this would definitely cause trouble.
