A groundbreaking idea by biologist Cornelis Vlasman is changing the way we think about the human body. Vlasman envisions the human body as a biological LEGO system, where each part is interchangeable to create unique arrangements. In a fictional experiment, Vlasman created OSCAR, a living being made from his own cells, but with the help of technology. This pocket-sized organism is fully modular and functions like a LEGO system, with each part interchangeable.
Although this experiment is fictional, it shows us the potential for future possibilities in the field of biology and medicine. In a recently uncovered video, Vlasman demonstrates how his brain and lung modules interact, and how adding a kidney module and two limb modules can cause the organism to move. This thought-provoking experiment is making waves and causing us to reconsider what is possible in the future of medicine.
