To understand further, a few words about what will be the new biotechnology, new biomedicine.

These technologies are based both on changes in the genome of the organism, and on interference in the work of organelles of a living cell through the introduction of special organelle-like active particles (biological nano-automata, nano-agents).

Since all vital processes are ultimately determined by the work of cells, this will effectively affect literally all the properties and parameters of the body – physical, neuro-psychological, mental.

There are four main directions of application of future nano-biomedicine:

– immortation (from lat. Immortalis) – “getting immortality”, i.e. termination of the biological aging program that limits today the maximum life expectancy of organisms, including humans, and leads to mandatory death;

– rejuvenation of the body, i.e. elimination of age-related destructive changes already made by the aging program;

– bio-therapy: a) methods of treatment of diseases of any type that have previously arisen in the body; b) creation of a permanent nano-biological system in the body that completely prevents the possibility of any types of diseases2;

– bio-plasty – changes in physical and psycho-cognitive qualities and properties of a person.

In other words:

immortation will make a person biologically immortal,

rejuvenation will make any person at any age, young again,

bio-therapy will not only cure any disease, but also get rid of the very concept of disease,

and bio-plasty will allow a wide range to change the body, organs, psyche, even traits and intellectual abilities.

Due to certain features, the development of these areas will go at different speeds. It is most likely that some bio-therapy technologies will appear first, and then the technologies of immortation and rejuvenation will be created. And only later will appear (in full) bio-plasty.

Future Biomedicine will have nothing to do with modern medicine chemicals and scalpels. Externally, it will look like “infection” of a person with synthetic “viruses” that will deliver the necessary nano-automata, nano-agents to the cells.
