You should both realize that if nanotechnology could be used to create something resembling, or simulating life, then it could also be used to refashion any or all of us in the mold we choose.
We could look like anything we wanted to. In light of the way some individuals today "decorate" themselves, this is a frightening thought.

I don't like to take big risks, like liposuction or implants. It would be my luck that something bad would happen and I'd look even worse.
