Presentation About The Nanomeds

Betty Ross, and Bruce Banner give a presentation about the Nanomeds.
Betty explains their research, while an animated presentation is running, which shows how the Namomeds work, how bad cells are eliminated, and how a toad is killed by the Nanomeds.
Betty: "The Nanomeds, which are essentially little molecular machines, remain inert in the body until we activate them with a burst of gamma radiation. Then, they instantly go to work repairing tissues by breaking down damaged cells, and by forcing healthy cells to replicate. The problem we've been having involves managing the energy flux created by such rapid cellular activity and the buildup of waste products from the dismantled cells, which have so far led to catastrophic results. In the next round of experiments, we'll be damaging the cells with drastically higher doses of gamma radiation, resulting in more uniform trauma. We hope in this way to better contain their destructive potential. If we do, if we succeed, we may someday realise our goal of near instantaneous body tissue repair."
There is a slide projected on the wall behind Betty that reads:
Nanomed Activity
- Destroy damaged cell
- Retrieve information from healthy cell
- Replicate healthy cell
A man from the board questions Betty: "But if they… The Nanomeds… fail, what are we looking at in terms of…"
Banner interrupts the man.
Man from the board: "I'm sorry…?"
Bruce: "Death… is a kind of forgetting… You see, each time a human cell replicates, it looses a little more DNA from the end of its chromosomes. Now, eventually, what happens is it forgets so much that it forgets its function, its ability to cope with trauma, to continue to reproduce, OK? Where's life… Life is the ability to both retrieve and act on memory. What makes the Nanomeds so extraordinary, and continuing our funding worthy, of course, is the fact that they are life, unbound… It's beautiful. But it's untenable. Part of life is death, is forgetting and check its mutations, it's monstrous. See, the Nanomeds remember their instructions too well. Basically, they stay in balance and the life we must forget as much as we remembered."
