Insurance Industry Warned of Nanotechnology Risks
SilentScream writes "Cordis reports that major reinsurance company Swiss Re has advised insurance companies that they may need
to reconsider covering products manufactured using nanotechnology until more is known about any possible side effects of the technology. The recommendation is detailed in a 57-page report titled 'Nanotechnology
- Small matter, many unknowns', which is available on the Swiss Re web site. The report acknowledges that
further research is needed but outlines the possible effects of nanotechnology on the human brain and the potential for an asbestos-like threat."
Insurance companies are always looking for ways not to pay for anything. Why dont they just stop operating under the facade of "insuring" us and just rob us at gunpoint instead?
Minor Correction:
The Democrat/Statist contingent around here will all be dependent on the government someday, and that government will let them down. Maybe put them in a bad financial situation (unless they live in mommy's basement for their ENTIRE life, not just their entire young adult life). Will you all say, "thank you sir, may I have another?" Will you say that it was the right thing to fuck you over? Do you suffer from that much self-loathing?
When you are dying in the gutter because you've sold your future to the government that made sure that no-one wants to do business in the U.S.A, I pray to God you're not stupid enough to thank them for it.
The only thing that we learn from history is that nobody learns anything from history.
So? With that mandate comes higher premiums. It's a risk that wasn't covered because it's a risk people choose to undertake and should be prepared to handle on their own.
with this attitude, no wonder the first world has a negative growth rate (excludign immigration). We should emphasise reproduction, make it mandatoryt hat all married citizens making more then 40k a year must have three children. This is just we can keep our level stable. I see a disturbing trend. The low lifes are breeding while the academics and proffessionals are too busy getting Prada bags and Browns shoes to make kids. Fast forward a dozen generations and we'll all be trailer trash inhabitants with FAS.
