I have seen movies on it but I thought that it would be many decades before it happened but here it is. WOW ! I don't know about this at all. I mean I understand what they are talking about is a fantastic Idea but this could go so wrong .

Or universally loved that you hated.

Nope, it is people trying to make $ off things which could go either way morally. People would love to do the surrogate thing if they could, is it right? no but would people buy into it in order to stay home and get loaded and watch daytime tv the rest of their lives? YES.

Having chronic nerve damage myself I am glad that scientists are out there studying the brain and finding ways to help us disabled people get our lives back.

broncosteven · 03-30-2011, 10:22 AM

One other point I would like to make to those like TGN who think the Space race and NASA are worthless money pits: Nicoleis said near the end of the interview that the Apollo program was what inspired him to become a scientist. I love how he said that he essentially became a scientist at an early age (6-9?) watching the space race.

We need more "moon shots" to continue to inspire young people.

Like I said before, what he designed it for is a fantastic idea. What it will be used for is scary.

Brain research is farther along than Joe Schmoe realizes.

Just wait to see what happens over the next 20 years.

I'm thinking more like 5 years.

Just think what happens when you combine this with cloning.

I can see that side of the coin, during the last series of Nova they had a show on the brain and they have a magnet based device that they are using to "reset" people with severe depression and Bipolar issues. Thing was it also affected speach while in use and had some other involentary movements which I can't remember off the top of my head. It looked like a huge Key from some 1930's horror movie. That kind of thing scares me more than a mobility cage.

On somethings but they are still a long way off from understanding nerves and pain. Closer? Yes but not quite there. Time had an issue on pain on 3/7/2011, they are close to finding a gene that can bind(?) with the body's natural occuring opoid to increase the effect and cut down pain but it could make Crack or Meth look like candy so there are a whole new can of worms being opened with each new discovery.

I do prefer the can of worms over no advancements though, you guys sound young and realitively healthy but you will want the advancements when your old or hurt in an accident caused by no fault of your own, hell even if you got hurt playing jackass in the back yard!

Quoydogs · 03-30-2011, 11:54 AM

I wouldn't say I'm young ( 35) but It's just not a good Idea to be messing with mother nature. Cloning scares the hell out of me and this well this is just well it could go very very wrong.

The biggest thing is this is not a what if anymore they have done it.

I agree that outright cloning a full human is wrong but cloning an organ or nerve would be great.

I saw a story somewhere (here?) about someone printing a 3D organ on stage at some science conference recently. It would be nice to be able to swap out a bad heart or liver etc that wouldn't be rejected by the body.

How far are we from those types of transplants becoming a daily occurance? Dunno.

Cloning is further off, but what you'll be able to expect is to submit a swab from your mouth and get back a replacement organ or limb.

I've wondered why it took so long to get the avatar concept going. I thought we'd be working on fighting wars by proxy already.

We understand nerves and pain quite a bit. What we dont understand is how to repair or regenerate neurons. There's some work that suggests that stem cell research could be an answer, that is if you can get over the whole "we harvest stem cells from dead kids like a farmer harvests corn" thing and start the process of utilizing geneticallly specific strains of stem cells, removing their DNA, and replacing it with that of a patient. Thats alot trickier than it sounds.

Your nervous system automatically develops new pathways, but if a critical set of neurons is damaged, you cant bridge that gap anymore. Hence no cures for Parkinsons, Huntingtons, mechanical CNS injury, peripheral neuropathy, etc.

One of the things I fear most in the world is the pursuit of eternal life. I truly think being able to clone organs will lead to being able to clone damn-near anything and when people don't die, I fear for how the world will turn out.

Nah, your somatic cells die off with time. There are many other ways of dying than organ failure and there is still the matter of surgery, even if you can make a new heart doesn't mean you can insert it trouble free.

If you are worried about eternal life being a problem you want to look critically at work done in telomer research and DNA regeneration, these are the people who are really messing with life extension on a serious scale. There are people who have managed to make mice with progessed senescence recover to youthful states including improved organ function, circulation, eye sight and hair growth.
