Abstract
The idea of a cybernetic organism-a being with both organic and biomechatronic parts-is a hallmark of modern science fiction, with iconic characters such as Darth Vader, Robocop, and The Terminator being prime examples. Yet novel medical technologies are turning this fiction into reality, allowing an alternative to treating diseased organs and limbs, simply replace them. This image of a new medical revolution, which promises permanent solutions for once unsolvable health problems, has inspired a generation of researchers to further the field’s knowledge.
