By: Elizabeth Montalbano

Innovations in medicine and technology are rapidly approaching capabilities
humans could only imagine. Things from artificial organs to prosthetics are
becoming as good as the parts they’re replacing. Some even have features that
surpass what we can do with our natural bodies.

These advancements and other research in the realm of robotics, diagnostic
and treatment devices, nanotechnology, and medical implants may one day make
humans superior versions of their natural selves. Some of these technologies
are currently the subject of ethical and moral debates that question whether
medicine should have the capability to make us super-human. As research moves
on 2014 could be the year some of the more controversial medical innovations
are ready for prime time.
