The article explores the intriguing connection between biology and
technology in the field of artificial organs and prostheses. It highlights
amazing advances such as prosthetic kidneys, hearts, lungs, retinas, and
limbs. These advances have altered healthcare and empowered those
who have lost limbs or organs. In addition, the essay highlights
significant actors in this industry, as well as ethical considerations,
privacy concerns, and prospects. While artificial organs hold enormous
promise, they create complicated ethical and access issues.
Nonetheless, continuous scientific and technical breakthroughs offer
enormous promise for improving human capacities, affordability, and
lifespan in the realm of artificial organs and prostheses in the future.
