Bob, will it make little blue pills? If it will I have to make to at least 2050.
Of course. Any medicine now known will be available through this technology.
One of the techniques used to do DNA research allows DNA strings to grow the next section from a soup of ingredients. In a similar manner, a matrix of precursor rods will collect and synthesize various chemicals in a very-micro format.
The clever part of the programming will be the manner in which the appropriate medical components are collected and packaged in the familiar time-release manner.
This avant-garde technology will be seen as miraculous, but the miracle will be short-lived, as even newer procedures will internalize within the human body its own chemical factory for effusing the needed medicines. It will be as if we have a new biological organ.
This newer organ will be programmable, to deliver various synthesized medicines at different stages of the patient's life, to maintain health for a lifetime.
