When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.

You're viewing a single thread.
Grow an organ for you from your own cells. No rejection or drugs; your body accepts it as its own.

Sounds straight out of hollywood

A friend's uncle paid to travel to an elite American hospital to get stem cell therapy instead of a knee replacement.

Of course, this coukd change when patents are applied and capitalism takes over the therapy.
I wonder if patents have already been applied to the nanorobots use for treating diseases
