"Scientists already have a precise knowledge of what the human body is made of, is it possible to develop a shot which basically annhilates anything in the body which is not supposed to be there?"

@jk wouldn't such a shot destroy itself?

@a_breakin_glass @jk the shot that destroys all shots that do not destroy themselves

@jk well that IS possible, it has the unfortunate side effect of also annihilating everything that is supposed to be there

As in, "computers are stupid, you have to basically tell it exactly everything it needs to account for", eg, the whole person?
Didn't he get it wrong anyway? 😏

@jk I like to read the articles on there sometimes but the comments section really shows the bottom end of the dunning-kruger effect. There was an article last week about hospitals 3D-printing respirator parts and people were making suggestions about injection molding. Like I get that the average hn commenter probably has more 3D printing experience than the average healthcare worker, but come on? Don’t just assume they didn’t already think about it.

@jk we know what the body is made of, we can just 3d print new bodies that don’t have the disease and upload our brains into them.
