Growing body parts, human wittiness or just people that believe themselves god. By Esteban Ibargüen



Dan lost his leg in a car accident however, the next day he bought another one in the

corner store. Do you think this is madness? Scientist in USA, Mexico, and Switzerland

are growing reproductive organs and nasal cartilage in labs successfully implanted

in patients. Nowadays thanks to the cutting edge technology it is possible have real

implants in your body. In china, a guy who lost his ability for breath by an infection

following by a car accident, woke up a couple of days later in the California's hospital

with a nose in his forehead, !AWESOME!. The doctors decided grow a second nose on

the man’s forehead to replace the original nose since the old one was so infected that

it was impossible save it.

For "normal" people this might be a kind of weird experiment or a terrifying movie

as "The island of Doctor Moureau or Frankestain". If you see a man with a nose in

his forehead, would be this normal for you? This practice it's now quite controversial

since different people see growing body parts as something abnormal and atypical.

Especially religious fanatics who thinks this is a blasphemy against god. What would

you do if you see a man with a hand in his face? This is something extreme but might

happen in a not far future. As far as I'm concern, I think this practice could help a lot

of people who had lost body parts as soldiers, even innocents who are in middle of

the war, for example kids maimed by underground mines or people who have been

amputated for some weird disease. Instead of waiting for donor organs, people could

have new ones grown in a lab; this will be great for the sake of humanity.

Growing organs has more good than bad things, but man is unpredictable, it's very

likely that in a not far future, man begins doing wrong things, this might become in

a mafia, selling this organs to high prices, so poor people could not have access to

this benefits and only a tiny group of people could afford transplants of these organs,

perhaps a lot of people could seize of that and become rich and powerful at the

expenses of sell organs and the suffering of who really need it.

Human brain is able to do awesome things, but the need of power makes that human

being uses the technology only for his benefit and not for those who are around.

We can predict the future wars, soldiers with 4-8 arms, super animals with fantastic

abilities for evil; maybe the next world war will be by organs.
