When you take the human physique down to its most fundamental elements, you can take it apart and place it back with each other once again in so quite a few approaches.
That is why biologist Cornelis Vlasman sees it as a biological LEGO technique. He’s constructed a clickable technique of interchanging organs and has brought it to life…sort of.

In his fictional experiment, he produced a living, organic getting formed from his personal cells and named it OSCAR. The getting does have to have technologies to perform, and every of its components are interchangeable so exceptional arrangements can be produced.
Vlasman showed off his brain module a handful of years ago, which was a totally electric device, and connected it to a brain module. The two components interacted instantly, and the identical occurred when he added a kidney module and a couple of limbs, just for entertaining.

Watching it move is truly type of disconcerting.
Vlasman does not agree, saying the prototype adjustments the human physique from a closed technique to an open-supply technique.
“If an organ gets ill, you can simply replace it with a new a single. The modular physique will grow to be alterable and adaptable to all sorts of circumstances.”
It is wild to believe about biological physique components getting controlled by an electric brain. I think about there are all sorts of applications and approaches to integrate this when it comes to stem cell study and organ replacement going forward.
I just do not know if I’m ready for science fiction to grow to be reality.
