A/V Geeks 16mm Films | Bionics (1978) @avgeeks | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
discusses the field of bionics, which combines biology and engineering to create artificial systems inspired by natural life. It highlights examples such as the development of aircraft based on bird flight, artificial pacemakers that mimic heart functions, and the potential for regenerative medicine by studying how certain animals heal or regenerate body parts. The text also contrasts living organisms, which depend on their environment, with machines that can operate in various conditions, including space. It explores the complexity of life at the molecular level, particularly the role of DNA in genetic instructions, and raises ethical questions about the future of genetic engineering and the power to direct human evolution.
