Medicine is the work of physicians and reseachers. Physicians seek to prolong the material processes of life, and so the lives of their patients and of themselves. This prolongation is first and foremost the healing of damage suffered by these material processes. Medical researchers have made considerable strides in healing damage that is the result of injury or of disease. They have made precious little progress, however, in healing damage that stems from wear and tear in processes that were never meant to last. The replacement of worn out old parts with little used newer parts is medicine's new frontier. But transplantation is not medicine's final frontier. Why replace flawed parts with flawed parts? Why not design material processes that will last? Eternal life can be bio-engineered. Science will save us all.
