as 3D printers that are able to get more and more precise are
becoming more and more mainstream, that's not entirely
unreasonable. Currently the technology isn't readily available
to be able to print on a molecular level consistently, but as
the technology is refined and becomes more available for studies
of new ways to adapt it and make it more exact, it's entirely
possible to be able to create designer medications. Imagine
medication that was based on your specific DNA and physiology -
side effects would be a thing of the past because each formula
would be tailored to you specifically, and would be able to
account for your unique body chemistry. If you could create a
formula molecule by molecule, why couldn't you take 2 molecules
of hydrogen and 1 molecule of oxygen and bond them to create
water? We've been 3D mapping chemica
