Human Enhancements are Mankind’s Future

Human Enhancements are Mankind’s Future : The Elm: "Medical science has come a long way in the past 20 years. Diseases that were once thought unassailable have become treatable and manageable. Gene therapy has recovered from its setbacks and is showing promise in curing a number of diseases. Prosthetics have developed from what was essentially a shoe on a stick to fully articulated robotic limbs, controlled through neural interfaces and capable of sensory feedback. The price: performance ratio of gene sequencing is falling at an exponential rate. More and more sophisticated neural implants are being developed, allowing the human brain to interface directly with a computer."
