Today on Far Future Horizons we look at the future of medicine
and the wonderful possibilities of regenerative medicine – the growing of
replacement organs and body parts.
Using human cell
technology, scientists are imagining a time when we can customize the
human body and grow limbs like tomatoes.
Having famously cloned a sheep, the next frontier is the human
body. Cloning is not the target market.
Rather, the demand comes from those who are already living wanting to
regenerate their body parts.
This technology
has the ability to eliminate birth defects, prosthetic limbs, and even organs.
National
Geographic delves into the science of tissue engineering and tracks how
scientists are beginning to harness the body’s natural powers to grow skin,
muscle, body parts and vital organs, even hearts. If we can grow our own
hearts: what does that mean for humanity?
