A TED Talk that makes science fiction reality
With an aging population and an overly drained health system, the medical community is seeking new ways to treat diseases. The longer a population lives, the more complicated and more expensive it is to care for debilitating illnesses. Early diagnosis before a disease can become symptomatic, followed by treatment in order to prevent the onset of a disease to a malignant state are ideally a doctor’s approach to curing a patient. However, science is showing that there is a new and even more effective way of treatment. Growing tissues and limbs were thought to be impossible in the past, but new and revolutionary breakthroughs are happening as we speak. This TED talk gives a glimpse inside the remarkable accomplishments being made in regenerative medicine. After watching this video, I could not help but be in awe of man's genius. Nothing is impossible in this world as long as we are willing to be adventurous and test the limits of science.
