Medicial practioners 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 done to these material processes. Medical practioners 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 not built 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 old flawed parts with new flawed parts? Why not design material processes that will last? Bio-engineering promises eternal life. Dr. Herbert West will save us all.
