Brava! Brava! Brava! Nina, consummate biomedical (and) ICT Engineer; slightly eclipsed by eloquence of expression; a truly remarkable woman!

In an accident, I got fractured in my skull. After the operation, there will be some empty bone space in the skull. I want to Epi bone for my skull

Amazing. This would be perfect for a business to provide a custom inventory of body parts for individuals as insurance to extend their life expectancy.....if you have the money...therefore, this would cater to the millionaires and billionaires around the world.

Dear scientists! What you've achieved is an attractive breakthrogh. But, what I'd like to see - or rather not even see - is some DNA modifying technology to make my DNA activate some regeneration process in my body. This is how I see it - they make me an injection with CRISPR millilitres, and my body begins replacing the defective parts. F.e. I am still young, but my femur joint is weak, and I know I am ffffff-ing doomed to a wheel chair. I do not want to have my leg cut; I just want a simple injection with DNA. Please, ;-( I don't want to be a doomed crip. You still have about two dozen years to help me, and I believe it's possible. I am a teacher and I am working with some easier humanitarian stuff and spread knowledge. But, you could help me with this bio-magic.
