Season 6, Episode 8 - All the tools to make a synthetic human
Manage episode 451113423 series 3398398
In this episode, we cover everything from restoring vision, creating synthetic olfactory systems, making protein out of thin air, 3D-printing organs with light and sound, artificial magnetic muscles, and so much more.
All these breakthroughs have a pretty clear convergence around creating a synthetic human: if not in its entirety, then definitely restoring full physical ability to someone whose lost it. Would either scenario be a utopia or dystopia?
Listen in and find out. Enjoy.
