THEY WILL NEVER COME FOR MY COCK, TAKE MY KIDNEYS, TAKE MY HEART, FUCK IT TAKE MY EYES BUT YOU WILL NEVER TAKE MY COCK AND BALLS

Every time...
I mean theres no way the eyes actually work as eyes right??
I don't know
apparently they injected stem cells from the donor when they stitched the optic nerves together, the eye is evidently being accepted by his body and he is slowly regaining the ability to blink.
when they flashed a light at the donated eye, hi brain produced a signal from that region
they might just be able to transplant fucking eyes in the future
where did they get the stem cells from? Transplants are the biggest scam in history, they don't even last longer than 5 years at most due to the inevitable rejection. To harvest organs the donor has to be 'brain dead' otherwise the body releases toxins that destroys the organs. Prosthetics was the way to go but that tech was shelved because giving the people a solution harms profits for israelites. The US ships bodies to China to experiment on too. Horrifying.
Sauce?
memoryholed but there was a series of webms on here and elsewhere containing thousands of corpses suspended on meathooks on a cargo ship, I found an article on it but it has been lost to time and the archives...
poast it nao
I can't find it you silly bastard.
>To harvest organs the donor has to be 'brain dead' otherwise the body releases toxins that destroys the organs.
kek. don't tell me you believe that they actually wait until your body shuts down before they start slicing you open without anesthesia? that donor had a very unpleasant series of final moments here. they had plenty of still healthy tissue to work with
of course not otherwise I wouldn't have said it :/
then it's no question where the perfectly healthy stem cells of the donor came from.
>they don't even last longer than 5 years at most due to the inevitable rejection
this not true many times over
What are you on about? If you have a transplanted organ you have to take immunosuppressants your entire life otherwise your body will just reject it. Same goes for foreign body stem cells retard. Good luck living when your immune system is fucked.
Poast the weebum faggy
i have to take immunosuppressants my entire life or else my immune system will attack the cells on the upper layer of my skin and leave me with scaly, red, itchy lesions all over
it's a slight inconvenience but it beats the alternative, I still rarely get sick and when I do it's mild
KWAB
why so hostile? anything you would like to discuss with us fren?
just joking around fren
glad to hear it brudda we're all frens here at the end of the day
No. The retina(the area of the eye that actually detects light) is actually brain tissue. You can't transplant said tissue and have it be functional.
Once the retina is damaged at all, it's gone.
>You can't transplant said tissue and have it be functional.
"Then came a closer look. NYU ophthalmologist Dr. Vaidehi Dedania ran a battery of tests. She found expected damage in the light-sensing retina in the back of the eye. But she said it appears to have enough special cells called photoreceptors to do the job of converting light to electrical signals, one step in creating vision."
Might work, maybe even at least partially, seems to be going well so far
I seriously doubt it. Not yet. They need more precision. What we need are photodiode chips and other tech made at the same nanometer scale as modern CPUs, that can actually see nerve pathways and connections, so that these nerves can be reconnected strand-to-strand with the help of stemcells. Still a ways off for that though.
Imagine if you will, 500 gigapixel camera sensors tat can "see" molecules.
probably easier to replace an eye with a camera than it is to successfully transplant an eye so that the recipient can see again.
that is some scary technology you just had me imagine
idk, humans seem to have a way of healing some wounds by just stitching the original or a very close copy of the damaged appendage/certain organs back into place and cleaning it all up. i'm not saying this guy will have 20/20 in that eye but he may have some sort of blurry proto-vision that his brain has trouble turning into one image at the very least, if this works, which is a big if.
fun fact: doctors don't carefully insert your intestines in back into your body during surgery, they literally just cram it all in there in any way that fits nicely and zip you up
The less accurate and finely detailed you are, the more complex the organic chemistry gets.
I'm hopeful for nanobot/nanite technology. In theory, these could be used to cure almost all diseases, by sending them in to clear/clean/repair organ tissues. Then program them to reenter the bloodstream and be captured in a dialysis system for reuse.
I want La Forge's visor. Pain be damned.
I have diabetic retinopathy from 29 years of type-1 beetus and I'm really fucked in eyesight.
why does the best technology have to be the spookiest
The invention of high explosives allowed mining and oil discoveries that completely changed industry.
They also enabled bombs for warfare and massive death.
The Haber process allowed easy access to ammonia solving famine for the most part. Also allowed overpopulation and easy manufacture of high explosives.
Any tech that will be great for people, will be just as bad for people.
Fire and tool use come to mind. Drugs as well. Methamphetamine is awesome. It is also horrifying.
we'll get a grip on it all, i'm sure we will
to infinity and beyond thats what I always say
that was the wrong gif but it looks cool right
Earth's core is not molten
yeah i saved that one before i realized i was retarded, thought it was some weird vibration levitation thing at a glance
Now everyone will have blue eyes. Telsa was right horrors we can't comprehend are coming to life.
My infant brother died on christmas eve in 92 and someone out there got his eyes. Not his face though. There is no amount i wouldnt pay to see his eyes again
hot springs huh
wake me up when I can get a foreskin transplant
