Is anyone with a computer science or engineering major in this movement? If you are, can you find a medical expert and design a machine that can turn healthcare into a right? Either the a complete robot a some aspect of medical knowledge.

One day it might be possible to get machines to replace doctors (or to get doctors to work with those machines or else) to debunk the argument of "healthcare is not a right".

You seem to have computer scientists and Engineers confused with lawyers. It's the legal profession that decides whether something is a right or not.

I remember reading something somewhere, about "Life, liberty, and happiness." Sound familiar?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

So wouldn't 'right to life' fall under 'healthcare?' That is, unless you are interpreting it as the right to life for a foetus. Somehow I don't think the framers had foetuses in mind when they were talking about rights.

The future is nanobots living inside your body and taking care of business without you even knowing it.

Sometimes you can't reach the third step without the second step unless with certain situations (like jumping, time travel, or stealing stuff from the future).

Nanobots are almost here.
