How fucking hard can it be to make a machine to suck in air and oxygenate blood? How fucking hard can it be to make a pump to replace the heart? The body is a machine, why haven't we figured out a way to mechanise it as the old parts wear out??

We walk around with tiny supercomputers in our pockets that can make portals for our images and words to travel through to the other side of the world, how the hell can that be harder than a PUMP and getting ONE molecule (O2) into a cell??!?

Because the body is not a machine and your understanding is stuck in 19th century pseudoscience.

Normal people have had heart pumps while waiting for a transplant. Or, it's more like a heart turbine. The problem with it though was that it ended up shredding blood cells with the propeller, so it's more of a short term thing to keep the patient alive for a few weeks max. People who have had them would talk about how weird it was to have an electric hum instead of a heartbeat

Your eyesight has no effect on the population reduction bottom line but ruining your eyesight and then "fixing" it lines someone's pockets.

>lines someone's pockets.
This.
90% of orthodontics can be prevented by proper mouth posture and intervention if for instance swallowing technique is wrong. The necessity of this intervention itself can be prevented by introducing the right food at the right stage of a baby/toddler.

Same for eyesight. Lazy eyes are fixed by training them with an eye patch. You can fix near and farsightedness in more or less the same way.

>US orthodontics market 3 billion
>Lasik 600 million
>Glasses and contact lenses 34 billion

Bullshit. It's just a fucking MACHINE neatly decomposable into LITTLE PARTS that can be REASONED ABOUT AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD IN ISOLATION, with SIMPLE AND WELL-DEFINED PURPOSES, just like my HECKIN' PHONE, ok???????

Artifical hearts already exist anon. It is not a stable technology and development is still in progress. The problem comes with their compatibility with the host body since the latter constantly defends itself from intrusive parts including non-biological devices. The power problem comes as a second set back since it is not known how to convert signals from the brain into regulative signal and it is not a safe choice to make a heart that heavily depends on lithium batteries.

The prozess of electrochemistry your heart and lung do is a mystery to soience.
Or the know and withhold the information from the common men.

It is not a MECHANIC phenomenon but a electrochemical phenomenon.
Literally nobody knows how this works.

Why does it need a turbine? Can't they do it with a peristaltic pump?

The inventors were expecting to find a bunch of weird side effects from having a continuous flow instead of a surging heart beat but it turned out that the body isn't actually dependent on the surge/stop pumping action as long as the blood is oxygenated.
