Nano is getting close. You have to be able to build atom by atom. I have no respect for the medicine man, until he can make from scrath a hunan. Nano is getting close.

I am particularly interested in retinal regeneration and perhaps the regeneration of complete human eyes. This is because I am rapidly approaching a stage when the sight of my right eye will also be gone as a result of age related macular degeneration. Sight in the left eye is as good as non-existent. One would have wished, irrespective of ethics, that eyesight should be sdomething that can be preserved if not improved upon.
