It is quite beautiful!
I think most of the dissenters are fundamentalist Christians believing in Intelligent Design from what I can tell from my basic research in the matter.

I would bet that nobody in the dissent line is of the orthodox Jewish persuasion for that reason. All of my research thusfar has shown nothing against it.

He is the provider and the giver of life and to let a nano machine heal you means you have forsaken your faith in Him by preferring technology over the tenets of prayer and blind belief.

As a practicing Jew I believe that nanotechnology was only developed with G-d’s help and that we are not anymore becoming deities by doing that than by developing antibiotics or medicine.
