Comment from UTT:
As time goes by it is going to become increasingly more difficult to discern what is purely human and what is not. The concept of transhumanism is an attempt by man to advance society to new levels using technology in combination with human flesh. This attempt to create a utopian society will fail when the time comes for the Creator to send the final judgment.
March 1 - Get ready for robots made with human flesh
Article: Transhumanism
Two University of Oxford biomedical researchers are calling for robots to be built with real human tissue, and they say the technology is there if we only choose to develop it. Writing in Science Robotics, Pierre-Alexis Mouthuy and Andrew Carr argue that humanoid robots could be the exact tool we need to create muscle and tendon grafts that actually work.
Right now, tissue engineering relies on bioreactors to grow sheets of cells. These machines often look like large fish tanks, filled with a rich soup of nutrients and chemicals that cells need to grow on a specialized trellis. The problem, explain Mouthuy and Carr, is that bioreactors currently "fail to mimic the real mechanical environment for cells." In other words, human cells in muscles and tendons grow while being stretched and moved around on our skeletons. Without experiencing these natural stresses, the tissue grafts produced by researchers often have a broad range of structural problems and low cell counts.
