For better or for worse “We are in the midst of one of the most remarkable revolutions in the history of mankind. The revolution was sparked by scientific curiosity about life, but its consequences will be so far reaching as to touch every aspect of society. It is an information revolution, unlocking databases of human heredity and evolutionary history. It is a medical revolution, holding the prospect that our children’s children will never die of cancer. And it is intellectual revolution that may reshape – for better or for worse – our notions of human potential. ” ----- Dr. Eric S. Lander, MIT 2005 Biomedical science had advanced to a frightening level by 2040 prompting most nations to agree on strict RULES 2

RULES of Biomed Research • Banned Programs: DMethuselah – no extension beyond 100 years DSuper race – end disease but no tinkering DWarier – no breeding of “soldiers” DSlaves – no zombies, subservient race DResurrection – no “Frankensteins” please • Wealth should not buy superior health 3

Body Renewal • Implants; almost anything • Bionic parts; most advanced • Harvest parts in lab – body farms § Production of complete body parts § Gene gel can be injected to renew • Body regeneration - limited to simple parts 4

New “Natural” Body Parts • Bio-farms “We can develop methods for synthesizing artificial cartilage, skin, liver, nerves and blood vessels for human transplant. ” 2005 § Grow new cells; specific and adapters § Organ tissue; inject or low-invasive surgery § Entire Parts – still evolving • DNA program and grow it § § 5 Bio-engineered, computer-aided/generated Just emerging

Implant Technology • Implants for all organs § Organ monitor/controller (organ booster) § Entire organ § Organ assist small enough to be “injected” • Technology § § 6 Artificial: electromechanical & Nanotech Natural: biological

Nano Biomed Filters APPLICATIONS • Artery implants • Artificial kidneys • Bacteria removal Red Blood Cell nanofibers hair 7
