Immortality through Cryonics?

A cadaver’s usual destination is either be rotten inside of a casket or be pulverized after cremation. Now, there’s a third choice---they can be lodged inside a deep freezing canister and wait for a possible life after death.

Scientists have great faith that future technological innovation in preserving corpses through cryonics can restore health, youth, and life. With a remarkable progress in medicine and molecular repair system, cellular deterioration might no longer exist. Therefore, aging might then be impossible and dead humans might be awakened from this “permafrost bed.”

Although cryopreservation has offered outstanding results to some people, it is still far from perfect since altering the nature of biological materials is highly crucial. It is true that some of its areas had proven extraordinary achievement in medicine, yet the process itself and its true potential should be carefully considered. In addition, ethical issues must also be dealt with. After all, these applications may be of great value in improving the quality and quantity of life. If time permits the success of cryonics, then the cause of death would be reversed!

BIO ART

Often called super mutants, the see-through frog, fluorescent fish, and sudden-death mosquito are all genetically engineered animals. The genes of these creatures are altered by experts to produce brand-new bizarre features.

Genetically modified organisms (GMO) sparked significant controversy in many areas. For skeptics, genetic manipulation should not interfere with natural evolution, while optimistic advocates see this as a continuation in the role of humanity to open a whole new array of options to improve life.

GOOD YOGURT, BAD CONTAINER

How safe are your pre-packaged berries and yogurt that you always buy in the supermarket?

Several studies have revealed that certain packaging can deposit toxins into food. With the misleading claims made on most food packaging these days, it can be hard to distinguish the truth from bad propaganda. Having said that, you better make tough choices about what you’ll consume. This is practically important because failure to make this distinction can have a big and long-lasting impact on your health and well-being.

Despite the numerous disadvantages of plastic and contaminated food containers, it is still important to be informed in order to make the healthiest choices possible for you and your family. In general, the most desirable foods out there are the whole foods provided to us by nature. Though there are still some healthy foods that are pre-packed nowadays, fresh foods should ideally be present in your everyday diet.

Synthetic Substitutes

Many movies featuring cyborgs remind us of partial or complete body replacement. In reality, humans can also possess both biological and artificial parts through implantation of man-made devices. Due to organ scarcity, natural organs are being replaced by electrical, mechanical, or robotic structures. However, their success stories are with varying degrees. Because of this tormenting scenario, scientists are encouraged to take endless steps to create the most durable and dependable synthetic organs which will redeem natural lungs, liver, pancreas, eyes, ears, limbs, and heart.


The body is an extraordinary piece of biological machinery. The organs comprising a human are all vital. If organ replacement becomes necessary, synthetic organs can take the place of biological structures. With this, organ shortage would never be a problem in extending and enhancing the quality of life.  The race is on for these mimicking organs. Let’s see what’s in store for the future.
