On Friday, most of day revolved around our midterm topic 
proposals. My group consists of myself, Matthew, Nicholas, Mason, and Charlotte. We wanted our project to be socially relevant as well as involving the necessary nanotechnology and practical application of science and art. After considering a large amount of topic ideas, we decided upon our topic revolving around the treatment of the disease Hemophilia A.
Our project proposal is essentially based on a more 
convenient treatment for those suffering with hemophilia, which included a one-time vaccination. This vaccine would release nanobots into the body of the infected person that can effectively produce the Factor VIII that a hemophilic lacks. Once a hemophilic becomes injured the nanobots release the Factor VIII so as the blood can clot.
While we still liked our idea, we decided as a group that the topic was still too safe and weren’t pushing the limit of the topic, so we attempted to work on this proposal because we wanted to figure out a way of curing the disease rather than treating. We experimented with the idea of using nanobots to manipulate the genes in attempts to genetically remove the gene so as it will not be passed down to other family members. 
While a practical idea, our criticism allowed us to realize it was so practical that scientists are already at work on researching it. It also lacked the art element that is crucial to the description of the course. We are now working on another idea that pushes the limits of “Imagining the Impossible” better than our previous proposal.
