When you take the human physique down to its most standard elements, you can take it apart and place it back with each other once again in so numerous methods.

That is why biologist Cornelis Vlasman sees it as a biological LEGO program. He’s constructed a clickable program 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 need to have technologies to function, and every of its components are interchangeable so special arrangements can be produced.

Vlasman showed off his brain module a couple of years ago, which was a totally electric device, and connected it to a brain module. The two components interacted straight away, and the exact same occurred when he added a kidney module and a couple of limbs, just for entertaining.

Watching it move is basically type of disconcerting.

Vlasman does not agree, saying the prototype adjustments the human physique from a closed program to an open-supply program.

“If an organ gets ill, you can simply replace it with a new a single. The modular physique will turn out to be alterable and adaptable to all types of conditions.”

It is wild to consider about biological physique components getting controlled by an electric brain. I think about there are all types of applications and methods to integrate this when it comes to stem cell investigation and organ replacement going forward.

I just do not know if I’m ready for science fiction to turn out to be reality.
