Next *ImmInst.org Chat Topic: Better Than Original Parts

Date: Sun Jan. 19, 2003

Site: http://www.imminst.org/chat


The current state and future promise of replacement human body parts. It is very likely that the ability of engineers to design biological tissues, bio-artificial hybrids, and better-than-biological synthetic replacments for human tissues will surpass the design capabilities of mother nature within our lifetimes.

Discussion topics will include:

What is the current state of the technology in tissue engineering, organ replacements, and silico-neural interfaces?

What is the impact of nanotechnology on these
advances?

When can we expect these advance to be made available
to the public?

How will these technologies affect human lifespan and
quality of life?

What are the ethical implications of better-than-human enhancement?

Bring your questions, comments, and hot bioengineering
tech news.
