"DIGITAL BIOLOGICAL CONVERTER of future humans to space colonies is a possibility arising from the work of J Craig Venter, who envisions no need for physical transport to recreate life at the speed of light on another planet". (PS: Still a long way to go for anything but DNA). http://lnkd.in/dTdXVEH View in LinkedIn

ROBOTIC ELDER CARE AS A PROXY. "Six elderly people across Europe currently have a new companion: a GiraffPlus robot, or Mr. Robin ... It’s part of an EU-funded project to use robotics to help elderly people who want to stay at home remain independent past the point they’d usually be unable to live alone due to physical or cognitive difficulties." http://lnkd.in/dRWXK7R View in LinkedIn

SURROGATE MOTHERHOOD ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS. "Dr. Harlow created inanimate surrogate mothers for the rhesus infants from wire and wood. Each infant became attached to its particular mother, recognizing its unique face and preferring it above all others. Overwhelmingly, the infant macaques preferred spending their time clinging to the cloth mother." http://lnkd.in/dUsjUcX View in LinkedIn

MICROGRAVITY 3D PRINTING. "Researchers ... are experimenting with 3D printing organs, blood vessels, and human embryonic stem cells. Eventually, the ability to print these items on demand away from Earth will lead to the freedom from Earth that extended duration space exploration will require." Eventually, maybe. http://lnkd.in/dxsGCMs View in LinkedIn

MAGICAL BIOSEQUENCER FANTASY. "The spacecraft "cargo" could be limited just to the genetic information of humans stored in as computer files. In this case, sperm and egg cells would need to be recreated by a biosequencer at the target planet (this proposal is currently not technologically feasible)." Nice footnote. http://lnkd.in/dFaBDUh View in LinkedIn

PRINTING HUMANS. "Our best bet for space exploration could be printing humans, organically, on another planet," said Steltzner on stage at Smithsonian Magazine’s Future Is Now conference." Which planet does he live on? This is a reference to Venter's 'Digital Biological Converter' machine which today can only 3D print DNA. http://lnkd.in/d4Qk-nJ View in LinkedIn

TRANSHUMANCE FUTURE. Steven Dick (NASA historian) and Hans Moravec (Carnegie-Mellon) believe that "human biological evolution is but a passing phase and the future of mankind will be as vastly evolved sentient machines capable of self-replication and exploring the furthest reaches of the universe." http://onswipe.com/thedailygalaxy/ View in LinkedIn

SEX DOLLS. "When it comes to technology, the sex industry is no laggard, and as robots become more human-like in their appearance and abilities, US-based company TrueCompany is poised to launch Roxxxy – the world’s first sex robot - that has many more capabilities than your average sex doll." http://lnkd.in/djmCBF2 View in LinkedIn
