Self-replicant biorobots are the reality now.
"As Pac-man-shaped Xenobot “parents” move around their environment, they collect loose stem cells in their “mouths” that, over time, aggregate to create “offspring” Xenobots that develop to look just like their creators.

The researchers are made the very first biorobots that can self replicate. Biorobots are genetically engineered organisms that are programmed to make some missions. Synthetic DNA or RNA makes it possible to create organisms that can make many things. As an example, they can take the stem cells to the right position.
The self-replicant biorobots can use to fix the damages in organs or blood veins. The robots would be the bacteria that are homing to the walls of the veins. And then they can turn to the part of the veins or they can connect to other nanomachines.
The synthetic nanorobots can carry the cells that are making fibrine. And that kind of system can make the web that can fix the damages in the blood veins. The self-replicating biological robots which operations based on synthetic DNA can clean large areas from toxic waste, they can destroy cancer cells or fix the damages in the body.
The genetically engineered bacteria or genetically engineered immune cells can destroy the cancer cells. The bacteria can home to the cancer cells and start to create enzymes that are destroying those cells. The system bases the idea that when the cancer cell steals mitochondria from the immune cells they would infect it by using the virus. That virus can destroy the cancer cells.
The thing is that there are many purposes what nanotechnology can make. Genetically engineered organisms can make almost everything. And nanotechnology can turn into the perfect weapon. The difference between a perfect cure for cancer application and the perfect weapon is so small that it's not existed. We should understand that all old fashion protective methods are falling. The nanorobot that goes wild will just turn the entire body into liquid. And that means we should concern about this kind of application.
The fast-growing cells can slip into the body and lock the blood flow to the brain. Or genetically engineered bacteria can remove mitochondria from the tissue cells. And cause gangrene. Those systems can use to lock the blood flow to cancer cells or remove the mitochondria from the cancer cells. But the same systems can operate as the perfect weapon.
The thing is that the same bacteria that are creating enzymes for destroying the non-wanted cells can use to destroy the blood veins. And the area of nanotechnology is one of the newest and most promising areas of the medical industry. But the same technology can use to create the most devastating weapons in history. If the nano- or bio-machine will target certain cells that thing can remove tumors. But the same systems can also turn the entire body into liquid.
