Do you think the first mass produced prosthetic limb will be a mechanical or 3d printed living tissue based?

and how much time till then?

basically doctors vs engineers

mechanical.

you can actually mass produce them at a huge scale to make them cheap. since they can sit on a self for, basically forever.

biofags vs engineers, to be more exact.

>>7930825
This would be my guess as well. This will start to happen soon.

>> No.7931370

Think there'll be a point when mechanically manufactured limbs will be able to out perform human limbs, and an industry will be born from it? The precursor of course being how appealing would it be for people to replace fully functioning limbs, with higher performing prosthetics?

Don't they already mass produce prosthetic limbs?
