slippery possibilities

transhumanism
super longevity

new treatments and techniques are developed

gene-therapy
stem cell research
scafolds for cells to grow onto
lab grown organs
prinatable heart valves
"refab" organs
extra cellular matrix
new materials allow new treatments

moral/legal questions

"fairness" of competitions ex: olypmics
job competition
costly but effective treatments
devision between rich and poor measurable in lifespan
increased life spans
ageing population
demands of special interests groups
potential for curruption
risks and potential for harm
demands legislation and regulation to insure safe and practical procedures and well as eithical research practices
government health care

new tools and materials must be desighned

improvements to existing scafolds
nutrition and exercise of growing organs
3D printers
cell washing techniques
cell harvesting methods
new treatments demand new materials
costs of research increases
