We need to pass rights to human cells. It will end abortion and consider this abomination as slavery.
Many decades ago, one of the early cyberpunk RPGs predicted that brain tissue would be sliced and used as computational engines - and that it would eventually learn to re-assemble itself into the brain it was.

Proving again, how free market libertarians are so easily manipulated into haphazardly doing the dangerous and morally bankrupt bidding of three-letter-agencies, under the guise of "capitalism." (See, google, twitter, bitcoin, et al -- all enormous darlings of the L's, and spook creations that have grown to be the biggest slave-drivers in the history of the world.) Libertarians are, in this respect, easier to manipulate, predict, and are more dangerous than low-T liberals; and who are the true driving force behind these "darling" free market tech tools that enable "elites", marxists, jews, and satanists.

Smart gels
The smart gels were inspired by the research of Masuo Aizawa, a Professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, profiled in the August 1992 issue of Discover magazine. At that time, he'd got a few neurons hooked together into the precursors of simple logic gates. I shudder to think where he's got to now.
The application of neural nets to navigating through complex terrain is described in "Robocar" by B. Daviss (Discover, July 1992.), which describes work being done by Charles Thorpe of (where else) Carnegie-Mellon University.
