Approximately 99 per cent of medicinal molecules don't reach their targets and subsequently, stay in the body of the patient. As these molecules can sometimes be very toxic - particularly in the case of those designed to target cancers - research is being undertaken into more effective ways of safely transporting and delivering drugs.
A challenge for nanotechnology in this research is to create a device which can carry a drug payload to it's target, be monitored throughout it's journey and deliver, without being attacked and destroyed by the body's natural defences. This calls for something which possesses stealth design characteristics and a plausible device is described here in this movie.
This is one of a selection of intriguing movies which are available for free download from the EPSRC Nanotechnology Image Library at : http://www.nanoscience.dept.shef.ac.u...

There is no risk, but benefit. Nanomachine can be program to do things. Such as to eradicate human, if you've seen THE DAY THE EARTH ..., with Keanu. And of course can be program to heal or fix our ailing health or body. Just like the knife in the kitchen. We use it to cut and dice veg.,fruit and meat. For easy food prep. Or to cut d throat of co-worker. Everything is on us. How to use "them". There is always two side of the coin. We got the choice.
Did anyone even hear that? they ARE trying to trick our body's immune system, so the "drug" can slip through our defence system. And base on history, new technology always have a chance to be use as a weapon, and by altering this technology into a virus biological weapon, can anyone see what is wrong with that??
what you have said can be summed up in. "Should we invent fire? Someone could get burned." Doesn't matter if man uses clubs or machine guns; history shows that we will still try to kill each other. The difference is who we can save afterwords.
We have many wonderful technologys that really could be used for the greater good. Unfortunately the military industrial complex owns the patents for them all. They either buy them or bullie them out of the inventors. That way they can create more High Tech weapons and bio-weapons to keep us cattle under-control.
I say the main causes of wars had always been power, government and militaries... Everytime we got new technology, leaders always make citizens pay the hard way.

More beneficial? or less beneficial?
Hard to say.

Ex.) nuclear bomb, etc...
