Have you ever imagined a future when humans become immortals? A time in hundreds of years ahead of time where no one has to 'die' and anyone can be rebooted and bring back to life. There is no 'Fountain of Youth' but humans have always been fascinated in extending one's lifespan. Our technological advancements will enable us to conquer our own mortality.
Regenerative medicine in the future would mean that replacement parts such as arms, legs and head would be possible. Such development would involve technologies that include:
- Bioreactor for maintaining organ viability outside the body
- Transplanting organs between clones
- Using pigs as bioreactors for growing human organs
- Growing a liver using embryogenesis mechanism
- Using modified stem cells and growth factors for organ regeneration
- Stimulating neurogenesis to restore the functions of the central nervous system
- Hematopoiesis outside the body
- Maintaining an animal head outside the body for more than a year
- Human head transplantation
- Growing a new body
