The Effects of Artificial Organs and Bionic Limbs on Our Lives

Alright, artificial organs and bionic limbsHow will it change our lives?

When starting to change ethic It is also useful to mention the ways that still need to be covered.

A new era has begun in health with artificial organs.

While organ transplantation saves the lives of many patients, it also donor finding process It can be quite long and complex. Millions of people around the world die while waiting for an organ transplant.

Here it is; made from inanimate polymers such as plastic and metal mechanical organsbiomechanical organs, which include both living materials such as cells and non-living materials, bionics and organs made from living cells and biodegradable polymers bio-artificial organs Activated.

Its implementation has already started.

For example, when we look at 2011, how many years have passed, in Sweden world’s first synthetic organ transplant had been carried out. Scientists in London have created an artificial windpipe coated with patient stem cells. They did not need any donors for this.

In addition, as 3D printing technology develops day by day, scientists from heart to kidney Some organs have become personalized, and this actually means significantly shortening organ transplant waiting times.

There are also unknowns.

The biggest problem of the artificial organ produced is the damage caused by the tissues in the body. applied force comes out. Whether the artificial organ will have enough mechanical stability to withstand this force is a point where research and developments continue.

Yet what we look at from artificial organ surgeries Afterwards, many patients can continue their lives where they left off.

With bionic limbs, obstacles are overcome and freedom of movement comes. From where to where…

Another groundbreaking revolution is bionic limbs is happening. These limbs replace lost or dysfunctional limbs, giving users back the freedom of movement they lost.

After wooden legs, hook hands and metal arms, modern bionic arms and legs, high-tech sensors and thanks to its artificial intelligence-supported motion controls, it performs very close to natural limbs.

Freedom emerges from connection with the nervous system.

nerves, muscles, cerebral cortices Thanks to concepts such as and synapses that allow us to make our movements, a smooth order begins with bionic limbs.

Studies have examined the area that allows prosthesis users to recognize and control their hands, and it is seen that the neural connections are quite strong. Actually the brain accepts the prosthesis and we can clearly say that it works accordingly.

Of course, most of this is replaced by missing limbs. Add one more finger and lift your hand 6-fingered It is also observed in the supposed studies that the brain has difficulty in adaptation, but what is known is that this will not be overcome after years. You see, we have all 12 fingers.

So what are these bionic limbs made of?

Bionic and wearable robotic limbs Among its advantages, many details are considered to enable people to potentially improve themselves and contribute positively to their productivity.

Living implant coatings that will work together with neural stem cells are being created. The advantages of synthetic and natural polymers are also evaluated. While synthetic polymers are durable and predictable with natural polymers Although harder to study, these more closely resemble the structure cells are used to.

There is more. Some of these prostheses are made according to the person’s skin color, birthmarks, frecklesIt is made according to many details such as nails, tattoos, veins and fingerprints. This prosthetic limb Covering creations may contain PVC or a range of silicones. It is made of flexible leather that fits the body or like a leather cover.

What about accessibility and equity?

Despite the rapid advancement of artificial organs and bionic limbs technologies costs are still very, very high. It seems that time will have to pass and technology will have to advance a little more so that it is not limited to only those with good economic conditions.

States and healthcare systems will also make these technologies more accessible. developing policies It is necessary. It is of great importance for social equality that everyone can benefit from these innovations.

The development of artificial organs and bionic limbs raises various ethical questions.

Tests conducted on humans, privacy of personal data Issues such as technology and misuse of technology are among the issues that need to be handled carefully. Considering that it will penetrate from our brain to all our cells, ethical rules must be strictly implemented in order to develop technology in a way that will benefit people without harming them.

It will definitely make a big difference in daily life.

It is certain that one day when it becomes accessible or completely safe, people’s quality of life will increase significantly. Thus, users will become more independent and opportunity to live an active life will find it.

We can’t help but think: is it our body, our brain, our emotions, or something intangible that makes us human? With these advances circle between man and machine As we get narrower, we don’t know how to answer the question we ask.
