If it is nanotechnology, then it is capable of building countless life-like forms. Research terms like "artificial dna", "singularity", "synthetic biology" for some of the answers to these questions.
Here's a start for you:
Secretary of Synthetic Biology | The Loom | Discover Magazine
The Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, is an expert in synthetic biology.
This stuff has been around a LONG time, with experimentation every step of the way.
The Singularity movement, many years old, is based in Silicon Valley and is just south of the Bay area, where one of the first and largest outbreaks occurred.
Look at some of the earliest posts on this thread that describe the movement (an article from the NY Times) and a new university opening on the grounds of NASA. It is backed by Google, among others.
To return to the original question, if artificial dna (constructed through nanotechnology) is a reality, consequently synthetic biology, this new "life" will possess some of the properties of "real" dna & biology.
The problem is that the prime mover - the nanotechnology - does not get destroyed with medications, so it keeps producing and infiltrating the body. Also, it produces many things that are NOT life-like. These things are what Dr. Wymore has been studying for the last 4 years. If you listened to Coast to Coast last night, he makes it very clear that the fibers (along with several other structures) have NO cells - procaryotic or eucaryotic. What their purpose/function are is a matter of debate, but it is clear that they are being made WITHIN the body, utilizing the building blocks found there.
For this reason, it is important to DETOX the body to keep flushing out these foreign invaders. Heavy metals seem to be present, so chelation is important.
That's enough for now!!
