No more needles?

JWSimpkins, very interesting stuff.

"One hundred sixty years after the invention of the needle and syringe, we're still using them to deliver vaccines; it's time to evolve. Biomedical engineer Mark Kendall demos the Nanopatch, a one-centimeter-by-one-centimeter square vaccine that can be applied painlessly to the skin. He shows how this tiny piece of silicon can overcome four major shortcomings of the modern needle and syringe, at a fraction of the cost.Mark Kendall aims to shake up how vaccines are delivered with the Nanopatch."
 
Interesting indeed. Even more boggling is that science could possibly get to a level where all these ailments are sorted out genetically, allowing all aspects of the body and mind to function without flaw. There's an episode of Future Scape with James Woods on the Sci Fi channel that talked about this. It's where we're heading IMO.
