Will technological implants be the next step in human evolution? Or will DNA modification become the commonplace? Or both?
Question because I've been on a Cyberpunk 2077 kick and it got me thinking. Will modifications with technology become a common thing in our future, similar to how tattoos and body modification are now? What about DNA modification and designer babies becoming commonplace? Will undesirable characteristics eventually be phased out among the rich, and underground cybernetics will override the limitat

What would food look like if we could scale up lab grown meat?
A lot of food uses bones, off cuts, etc. For example, soup. Many cultures also commonly make use of things like chicken hearts, feet, pigs intestines etc. I once ate lamb brains at a Michelin stared Spanish restaurant. If lab grown meats become more prevalent (you could include plant-based meat here too), where would we get the bones and off-cuts for these things? I'm guessing that companies woul

I understand the vast majority of these just aren't viable or downright dangerous, but can we think of any major chemical reactions that are "
