Bioforming and Gene Tailoring | video from a cool youtuber, and my comment regards his vid topic below

Comment on the above video:



Recently a high efficiency(according to news) electricity conversion of atmospheric co2 to ethanol method was achieved through I think nano tipped carbon structures.   Theoretically similar could be built by cells, such that the cells did  not depend on sun light but electricity for biomaterial production.   Using a fusion reactor, the direct electricity to biochemical energy production should potentially be more efficient than electricity to light to chemical energy conversions.


Regards gene therapies, I believe hypothetical nucleus exchange technique should work.  You create modified cells, that are designed to fuse with existing cells sync some of the epigenetics and destroy the existing nucleus, they then set an external molecular tag to signal that the cell has been changed with an updated nucleus and stop further fusions.   Depending on how fast you need the changes, therapies targetting mainly the stem cell pools could over time change slowly most of the body.  IF you want high speed or also for neurons you may need nucleus exchange with epigenetic synching of some of the genetic material.


As for hypothetical genetic modifications, I believe a question remains on whether we can merge our digital computation technology with the ancient biological machinery.   For example advanced 3d molecular computers with fiber optic links are hypothesized to exceed human brain performance over a trillion fold.   Such could be built by cells hypothetically if we can adapt biology to construct digital computers, and quantum ones too if they're feasible.


I've heard that some insects can be over 10+hrs without oxygen without suffering neural damage, a human cannot.  Through metabolic speed reduction and even virtually stopping metabolic function some other animals can last decades without food, water or air.


There's also the case for negligible senescence,  regeneration, and potentially superhuman speed, strength and durability.


Personally I would like the merging of digital computers with biological bodies, 3d printed or womb grown fully human bodies with digital computer chips instead of brains that are remotely controlled or updated via wireless network.


Unless hard nano, the hypothetical universal assembler is possible.  A negligible senescence regenerating human body will outlast any potential traditional droid, as it will be self repairing self maintaining and low energy use.   For certain applications, and also for visual appeal, texture and feel, fully human flesh is hard to beat.
