was restored to his heart. But what could this mean for us? Not all humans suffer from kidney disease. However, this means that in the future, doctors could fully bioengineer entire organs. People could have their lives saved from deadly diseases. Doctors would no longer need organ donors or have to have transplants. This could lead to further expansions, such as fashioning an entire human brain with specific traits in order to create artificial intelligence out of human biomass - in other words, cybernetic organisms. Even further, the bioengineering process could become at such a quick, efficient, and accurate method as to flash-clone entire humans. The world of bioengineering grows ever quickly. New advancements are made to keep this amazing technology up-to-date and efficient. Who knows, maybe by the time you have a serious medical issue, you can have new organs grown for you on the spot.
