I am making a radical point here: we need to stop
thinking of machines
as devices made to serve a purpose. A true nano
will be like a cell, a
rather complex thing and will approach the
complexity of life and we
will need to think of it as a living system, and it
time it will need
to have values just as all living things create
values.

I don't wanna know how you know details regarding the
first paragraph. "Life" is an arbitrary definition.
Values require consciousness. Not all living things
have it. Insects and Trees for instance. Diamondoid
machines cannot be sentient, even if you term them "living".
