"That's because only lunatics and people with grave misunderstandings
of epidemiology can possibly argue that nano-immune systems are bad things."

While I don't truly percieve this precise issue as a very big threat, it 
could be a little scary if such systems could colonize at will.  Public good 
could be serviced, but would it be a violation of individual rights?

I don't know myself.

I am sure such public good vs. individual rights dillemas will plague 
thinking-kind for all eternity
(well, really until the heat death, but thats a long f*king time, and we'll 
have bigger problems to worry about!).
