Doomsday and Modern Science!
Nanobots, clones, AIs and gray goo!

Modern science makes our lives infinitely better, but for some doomsday theorists it will be modern science that leads to the demise of mankind.  While most science based doomsday scenarios don't result in the end of all life on the planet, many do.  Doomsday scenarios derived from threats posed by weapons technology aren't covered in this section of Doomsday Guide.  That topic is examined in our Doomsday Weapons section.  Here we take a look at threats of doomsday posed by modern science outside the weapons arena per se.  Modern science based doomsday scenarios here are focused on the following areas:  Nanotechnology, Genetics/Cloning, Artificial Intelligence, and Reactor Meltdowns.
