The fact that humans are annihilating the Earth faster than any other species is not cause for our extermination (well, actually IMHO, it is).
The fact that nanotechnology is capable of evil things does not outrle the fact that it will be capable of MASSIVE advances in healing, medicine, anti-pulltion and other such things.
That something is CAPABLE of evil does not MAKE it evil.

"Are we not threatened with a flood of information? And is this not the monstrousness of it: that it crushes beauty by means of beauty, and annihilates truth by means of truth? For the sound of a million Shakespeares would produce the very same furious din and hubbub as the sound of a herd of prairie buffalo or sea billows."
—Stanisław Lem, Imaginary Magnitude (1973)
