Can Cybernetic Bioreactors grow new Tissues and Organs ready for transplant?
Bioreactors enable the growth of new tissues and organs but are limited by synthetic parts. Current Bioreactors do not provide the full life support that biological vital organs provide. Should Regenerative Medicine Bioreactors incorporate biological body parts for “Cybernetic Bioreactors” that can support entire organs and tissues being grown to maturity ready for transplant?

In this day and age of unreliable donors and poor health, Cybernetic Bioreator grown and harvested organs seem to be an obvious sollution to our shortage of usable and healthy vital organs. I see where this method could easily be adapted to other areas of growing and harvesting vitals organs using a person’s genetic code and not just transplanting them from dead humans. This would of course open all kinds of possibilites where AI is concerned. Instead of them inside us…us inside them!
