/g/ can you help me understand this, we have so much technology right now, to think that I can be on my balcony and look at pictures of other worlds from my tablet is pretty advance imo , but technology has yet to create a practical artificial heart or kidneys, my question is, why? What' s keeping us from being at the point where technology is so advance that you can have a new heart, a better one or a kidney. Where are humans lacking right now /g/, and what breakthrough do you think will change the world.

foreign body rejection. causes parts to clog up (body tries to rid the device). anti-rejection meds used in transplants doesn't work with mechanical parts. they gotta get over that bump first. stem cell and cloning might have gotten us closer but you know what direction that took.
Where are you going to get the energy to power a pump anon? Battery life is lacking big time, unless you wan't tubes and fucking wires hanging around your waist. You said practical, for that to happen there needs to be a massive breakthrough in battery life or a major breakthrough in bio medicine or something. Otherwise , you can wait a few hundred years because I don't think we are anywhere near solving any of these problems.

Low demand

Lack of funding, religion, idiotic beliefs, there are several reasons why. You have to follow the money, the only advance shit we are getting are cell phones and gaming systems/pc's because the world not only needs it but it's now a status symbol to get the latest and greatest of anything. So we all know where the funding went.

nanotechnology will solve everything you listed op

Consider underclocking your heart and turning off your AutismHD Integrated retard card

Kidneys are pretty complex, unless it's entirely mechanical in function a machine can't usually replicate chemical reactions at cellular levels
>have a new heart
there are tons of artificial hearts out there that have been developed as far back as the 1940s but it's fairly unlikely we'll get one that doesn't require a shit ton of maintenance or close observation
bionics could get a lot better if people would just man the fuck up and allow invasive surgery to connect actual nerve endings to a computer, it's only happened in a rare few cases
a lot of what people present as bionics are really just tech integrated prosethetics with no actual biological data taken

Fine then, because certain people have beliefs which come into conflict with some scientific practices, and while the advent of science is important, so is respecting these peoples dignity.
