Research and experimentation in the fields of cloning, genetics, stem cell research, gene mapping, electromagnetism, organ transplantation, nanotechnology, cellular biochemistry, catalytic synergists and cellular programming (as well as 3D programming) are bringing the Human species closer and closer to the real possibility of regenerating and reconstructing all or individual parts of the Human body.
This is not AI (artificial intelligence), bionics, robotics, or transhumanism -- this is reconstruction of what had existed before either disease or injury created loss of a bodily part or key function. This is restorative technology, at its most Human.
Following is an interesting and thought-provoking article excerpted from The BigThink IdeaFeed Newsletter:
GENETICS
Gene Therapies Add Promise to Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine, which seeks to regrow lost or damaged human body parts ranging from patches of skin to entire limbs, may prove especially promising given recent advances in genetic therapy. |
Some ideas and projections from sources used by The Global Futurist Blog regarding anticipated developments in this area follow. Incidentally - If you are asking me to predict when the entire reconstruction of the whole Human body will indeed be possible, all I could offer up is the conservative and largely intuitive estimate of between 35 and 55 years:
