Mr. Anders Sandberg,

The new science of NANOTECHNOLOGY as espoused by Dr. K. Eric Drexler, in
his book ENGINES OF CREATION ( Published by Bantam Doubleday Dell
Publishing Group,  Copyright 1986)  will make REVERSIBILITY a snap. 
Nanorobots with built in quantum computers will move throughout human
tissue, monitoring chemical imbalances, repairing cell damage, and
completely controlling the metabolic processes of anabolism and
catabolism. Such technology will give a person complete freedom to
change skin pigmentation  at will.
