Medicine is a branch of biology. Medical doctors seek to prolong the material processes of life and so the lives of their patients and ultimately of themselves. This prolongation is first and foremost the healing of damage to these processes. Medical research has made considerable strides in healing damage to the material processes of life resulting from injury and from disease. It has, however, made precious little progress in healing damage to material processes that were not built to last. The replacement of old and failing parts with young and barely used parts is medicines' new frontier. But transplantation is not medicine's final frontier. Why replace the parts that are old and failing with part that are destined to age and fail? Why trust in material processes that were not built to last when material processes that could be built to last? Bio-engineering is the promise of eternal life. Dr. Herbert West will save us all.
