Close the global borders…aliens had been spotted on Mars!!!
I want to tell you ONE little secret about alien lizards…they are not crawling on Mars but in YOUR GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!
Has sharp-eyed blogger really spotted a lizard on Mars (or does he just have an over-active imagination?)
A science blogger with a keen sense of vision claims to have spotted a lizard meandering around Mars.
The unknown spotter is from Japan and alerted the website, UFO Sightings Daily, of the unusual sight.
The rather unbelievable and completely unsubstantiated claim has caused some excitable conspiracy theorists to fear that the NASA could be planting life on the planet for scientific testing.
A letter from an elite master to his son …
“The money is the power, and whoever controls the money, controls the power.”
True but they forgot you to tell that you a curtain knowledge to gain this financial power…they don’t tell you the real power behind it all!
THINK and FIGHT BACK!
A letter from an elite master to his son, do
not know if this is real, but it is
sure interesting… See the whole article
———————————————————————-
My son, it is time you begin to realize the world is an illusion, a stage, and there
are many actors, but there is usually a writer, and a director and then there
are those who are what are called Producers.
In the stage of life my son, the writers, directors and actors are meaningless.
Even though they get what is called the meat of contact.
Meaning, they are the one’s who actually get the stage light upon them, but it is the producers behind the scenes that make it all happen.
Without the producers, there is no movie, at least in the sense of power.
The money is the power, and whoever controls the money, controls the power.
There is no other trick to it, there is only an illusion.
You will begin to learn those with the least amount of expertise and real abilities are the ones who believe they have all of the power.
These are the hypocritical parasitical politicians.
This is why they spend all of their time devising ways on how to take power away from
the people, because they have no real power of their own and never have.
If they could produce power they would not need to steal it.
All of them use up other peoples power to get where they are at.
Usually under the pretense of bribes and coercion, they manipulate their way to the top, on
someone elses money.
There was a movie that was created a while back called, Other
Peoples Money, OPM, and that my son is the way of this world.
You kiss the ring of those who have the money, and then they allow you to be part of their movie.
Never be deceived, those who believe they have power, by stealing it, have nothing.
In one moment, one hour, it could all be taken away, from the highest to the lowest.
You see son, there is a big difference in controlling capital and its flow, and how
it is created versus accessing grants and funds, through an agent.
When we step into the rink of the Parliament, or even the White House, and yes even the
Vatican.
They do what we tell them to do, why?
Because we have the root of their power, and they know it.
None of them have enough smarts to know whether we are lying our ##### off to them,
or if we are being forthright, to them it doesnt matter, why?
Because we hold all of the cards.
My son, things are about to change in this world.
We are about to let go of those who think they have the power.
We are tired of carrying them along while they pretend to be gods, pharaohs and royalty.
I say pretend, because that is all it is, most of them have no regal right to be where they are. We placed them there.
They spend all of their time creating disorder for one reason, and that reason is
not what most believe it to be.
They are not really trying to create order out of chaos, they wouldn’t know how to create order if it was drawn as a blue print before them, because they have no order mentally, they are truly mental baskets cases as some of my friends state.
Their minds are in complete disorder.
They are all trying to save their own assess.
Let me explain, when someone lacks real education, they act in fear.
When someone has a low intelligence factor, they act out of self survival.
They have no other means to protect themselves.
They are too ignorant to really understand what roll they are really playing.
Nevertheless they are smart enough to realize, who pulls the strings.
Just like a dog or cat recognizes who feeds them.
These unwitting dupes are the true sheep, the true cattle, for even many of the actors have more self control than these do.
And without self control you cannot control others, it will always end very badly.
They feel because they have the armies of the world behind them, and at their beckon
call they can destroy or uphold anything they desire, that this means they have
true power.
My son never forget, without the producers, the game will not go on.
If we do not fund their wars, or their conflicts, they can’t move an inch!
Yes we took advantage of their ignorance and used them like mule horses, to do our
bidding.
It is so easy to maneuver them because they have no ability to think or assess critically. Many of them are raving madmen and women, and perverts.
These are the easiest to control.
They lack character, they lack real definition.
They exist to live off of others.
Now you may ask, what is the difference between us the producers and them the writers and directors, aren’t we all using the actors to make them do what we want?
Of course we do, but there is a vital difference, and it comes down to this, I can
give you a million pounds, and you will be that much richer, and you can do with it
however you choose.
But you still do not know how to create that million pounds.
And this is the difference.
In any creation or construction there needs to be a market, a plan, a goal.
A way to create wealth continually.
This is, and always has been our goal.
Ultimate Creation is not destruction!
It is in our blood, opulence is our elixir of life.
The difference is, we know how to create it using a controlled market, they do not know how to do this, and they spend all of their time destroying the markets we build.
You see they exist for one reason, they are the real parasites of this world.
They destroy everything they have, we build everything.
There is no market in slums, there is great market in magnificent well organized structured technological cities.
And this was the reason I wanted to reveal this to you this day, to understand why
we are about to cut them off from everything.
Once they are cut off they will have no ability to ever again access their illusory power.
They will be like chickens with their heads cut off all trying to destroy and eat each other. Once upon a time we used them because it was needed to restructure governments behind the basis of how we operate.
This is coming to an end.
We do not need them anymore.
They are destroying everything we handed them on a silver platter all to save their own ##### from the actors.
You see once the actors are privy to who these demented entities are, they will surely eradicate them.
And like we did for them at one time, we will also do for the actors, we will fund them.
My son we want wealth, we love luxury.
We do not want to live in a cesspool world created by these maggots that have no mind. They are sucking the life blood out of our world because they are not creators, they are destroyers.
Remember it is them that are casting the actors, telling the actors what to do, and then they
blame the actors for following their role perfectly.
And they call them the animals, when they know not that they the directors, the writers, are truly the basest of life.
It was their imagination that created this mess, and we funded them to serve our
purpose, but that is now finis.
And now that we control the entire world, we do not need them anymore.
Soon you will begin to see stories coming out, that we will back, new scripts written that
we shall produce, and soon a new world will appear.
Not the new world order these ego centric morons desire, a but a new world of wealth and glory where all can be part of.
We are about to cut the strings off our puppets as we are truly their masters.
Within days new stories will appear, within weeks, major operations will go
down, and guess what, we are funding all of it.
Does this sound unfair, does this seem wrong to you?
Listen, the truth is simple, we control the world now, and we want it our way.
We are not going down the path of these sick, blinded perverted basket cases that do not know their ##### from page nine.
If we left it up to them, they would destroy everything!
So what was our mission all along, what was our real agenda?
to remove the power of governments that have controlled for thousands of years, and bring it into our hands.
We used them and now they are of no longer any use to us.
But we never desired to destroy everything and leave our world a dead zone.
What is so funny they will bitch and complain, they will say, we are the rulers of
this planet, and we shall sit back and laugh.
They will give their commands to their underlings, and we will simply pull the plug wherewith they have no money.
It is all coming down to this, we no longer need the President of those United States,
Nor the Queen of our Regal Kingdom, nor do we need any Vatican papacy, for we control
everything now.
And we want to live in a world of luxury and peace.
If we have to walk through the slums to get to where we desire to go, then the world
we created is not much of a world is it?
We don’t desire to suppress the actors on the stage of life, we simply do not want to be regulated by them or their ignorant rulers anymore.
Because the history of this world has been one thing only, and that is, wars and death.
This is what happens when we allow the directors and writers to establish the script and the actors just play along.
it truly is the game of life, not the game of death!
It is all about control through bloodshed for them.
And it is supported by religion, science and government alike.
How could we possibly bring an end to this, well we the Knights knew long ago, whoever controls the wealth can change all of this anarchy.
You see my son, everything in life is based on directing and writing.
This is where all are being coerced from.
And it is a script of death.
This was our agenda all along.
We love opulence, we love beauty and art.
We love symmetry and design.
But we could never have this if we continue in the world as it is heading.
Because the politicians, religious leaders and all the rest were always set on destroying this world. There has always been some deep sickness in
their hearts to control and destroy.
They see beauty and art and they destroy it, we buy it.
They see organization and community, they destroy it, we operate in it.
Sure, we may come across as the pariahs of this world,. the greedy evil bankers.
But know this my son, there is only a few of us that really control everything,
many of the bankers are also part of the mental breakdown like their supporters.
They can only see in front of their face, they have no vision, no long term thinking.
We allowed them all to play their roles, and now we are taking back all power to ourselves, and we shall share it with everyone.
We own all the gold and silver, because like idiots they are, they gave it to us, we own all the real money.
They only have left their fake money, in which we taught them how to use, to
create a fabricated control.
That is now all over!
We do not want to live in a mental ward world.
We want freedom and peace just as the actors do, why do you think we would go through so much to set this stage accordingly.
My son, do not be concerned when this all goes down, we are now directing it as well
as producing, the power of the politician’s is dead.
Many of them will flee for their lives, but they wont be able to go far, below or even above. There will be no place to hide once the actors know what has happened, and once we begin to fund the actors, this game will be over and a new game will begin.
Are you ready?
Dad

Plum island hospitals and their 'perfect' 3D images of our organs… Life nauts were made right under our noses and we never saw it happen!
Scanner is first in the world to make ‘perfect’ 3D images of our organs… and Bradford is first to get one
- £600,000 CT scanner in Bradford hospital first of its kind in the world
- Marvel of medical technology makes more detailed scans with less radiation
- Designed to accommodate obese patients, taking weight of up to 27 stone
Intricate: The CT scanner creates highly detailed images. Here, the blood vessels in the upper body, the heart and kidneys have been scanned
The world’s quickest and and most detailed CT scanner that allows patients to watch T.V as they are X-rayed, has been installed in a Bradford hospital.
The £600,000 scanner is said to revolutionise medical technology.
It is able to perform up to 50 scans a day, compared to the 35 of the previous machine at Bradford Royal Infirmary, West Yorkshire.
The state-of-the-art equipment houses a television, which can show relaxation videos to nervous patients or children.
The scanner, which uses X-rays to produce sliced images of areas of the body, is designed to accommodate obese patients.
The machine can hold patients who weigh up to 27 stone.
Clinical services manager Nigel Lewis, said: ‘This machine is the first of its kind in the world and in an instant can provide 160 slice images of the body in just 0.35 seconds.
‘It also uses a very low dose of radiation compared to older CT scanners.
‘I can’t understate the benefits that the new scanner brings to the hospital and our patients and I can’t overstate how good this equipment is.’
The Prime CT scanner provides radiographers and radiologists with a near-instant 160-slice image of the patient’s body in just one rotation and provides more details than ever before.
The machine’s coverage allows entire organs such as the heart to be scanned in just four heartbeats.
It also provides clinicians with sharper lung and excellent soft tissue detail in one image and image reading times have been shortened.
Consultant radiologist Jonathan Barber, said; ‘Such rapid imaging gives staff increased time to spend with patients and means scans can be acquired faster.
‘We will be able to scan more patients than ever and the wider bore of the machine accommodates almost any patient type.’
High-tech: This patient will be able to watch television while they are X-rayed by the world’s most detailed CT scanner
These images of a heart and set of lungs have been created by the world’s fastest scanner
Manufacturer Toshiba has designated the hospital as a world reference site – a first for the UK.
It means BRI is a centre of excellence and health professionals from all over the globe will travel to the city to see the scanner work.
Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust operates two CT scanners at the BRI and one at St Luke’s Hospital, Bradford.
Efficient: 50 patients will now be able to be scanned each day at Bradford Royal Infirmary, freeing doctors up to spend more time with patients
Medical marvel: The new piece of technology will allow radiographers Josh Evans and Anne Williams to interpret images quicker
Google and Nasa unveil superfast quantum computer that could take over global life….they created THE CYBORG!
Do you recall the movie I-Robot?
In that movie they show us V.I.C.K.Y ,a super computer that is taking over the robots which are in every home.
Think about it for a moment…our society is full of high tech and also our homes are almost controlled by technical stuff.
They have created a V.I.C.K.Y!
(movies can tell us which technical steps they are going to make…just try to understand the past and look at the signs)
Google and Nasa unveil superfast quantum computer that could cure diseases, stop global warming and even learn to drive a car
- The D-Wave computer is 3,600 times faster than a normal computer
- It’s classed as a ‘quantum computer’ because it uses qubits that can be perform multiple calculations at the same time
- These faster speeds mean it can tackle more complex problems, such as disease, climate and robotics
Google has teamed up with Nasa to buy only the second commercial quantum computer ever made.
It can perform tasks 3,600 times faster than normal computers and the two organisations are hoping to use it to find cures for diseases, fix climate problems and help robots better understand human speech.
The companies are hoping to unlock the power of the computer, which was built by Canadian company D-Wave, at the new Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab, housed at Nasa’a Ames Research Centre in California.
Google and Nasa have bought a quantum computer from Canadian makers D-Wave. The computer is 3,600 faster than normal computers and could be used to tackle disease, climate change and develop more sophisticated robots. The two companies are launching the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab in Nasa’s Ames Research Centre, California to help unlock the computer’s power
A D-Wave 128-qubit processing chip. Unlike ‘bits’ found in normal computers that can only be on or off at any one time, qubits can also be in a ‘mixed state’ between these points. This means quantum computers such as the D-Wave range can peform single tasks much faster than normal computers, and perform multiple tasks at once, much more efficiently

New spectre of cloned babies: Scientists create embryos in lab that ‘could grow to full term’
- Breakthrough could have major implications for stem cell treatments
- First time cloned embryos have developed enough to provide stem cells
- Raises possibility of babies being cloned in the lab by rogue scientists
The prospect of cloned babies has moved a step closer after scientists extracted stem cells from human embryos created in a laboratory.
The breakthrough could lead to customised cells to help treat and even cure a range of diseases, from Alzheimer’s to multiple sclerosis.
However, it also raises the spectre of babies being cloned in laboratories. This could allow couples who lose a child to pay for the creation of a ‘duplicate’.
While human embryos have been cloned before, none have had healthy stem cells extracted from them. The latest advance means scientists are now even closer to being able to clone children.
The US team behind the work stress that they want to find treatments for incurable diseases – but critics fear there is little to stop a rogue scientist from copying their work to try to clone humans.
Dr David King, founder of the campaign group Human Genetics Alert, called for an international ban on human cloning and said it was ‘irresponsible in the extreme’ to have published details of the stem-cell technique.
The world first was achieved at Oregon Health and Science University, with a technique similar to the one used to clone Dolly the sheep.
First, Dr Shoukhrat Mitalipov took eggs donated by healthy young women and removed their DNA.
He then placed skin cells inside the hollowed-out eggs and used a zap of electricity to make them start developing into embryos.
When the embryos were five or six days old, and around the size of a pinhead, Dr Mitalipov successfully harvested them for stem cells.
These cells, known as ‘master cells’, are capable of turning into every type of cell in the body and are widely seen as a potential repair kit for diseased, damaged and worn-out body parts.
Dr Mitalipov has spent many years refining the technique, which involves feeding the eggs caffeine at a key point in the process.
He said: ‘Our finding offers new ways of generating stem cells for patients with dysfunctional or damaged tissues and organs.
‘Such stem cells can regenerate and replace those damaged cells and tissues and alleviate diseases that affect millions of people.
‘While there is much work to be done in developing safe and effective stem-cell treatments, we believe this is a significant step forward in developing the cells that could be used in regenerative medicine.’

[Top]New 'stealth' drones….a step towards the development of autonomous 'killer robots'.
Top Gun in the 21st century: U.S. pilots left standing on deck as they launch new ‘stealth’ drone from an aircraft carrier for the first time… using handheld consoles
- The Northrop Grumman X-47B is the first drone designed to take off and land from an aircraft carrier
- That means it can be deployed across the world without the need for foreign airfields to operate
- It is also the first drone able to fly itself using AI, sparking fears its human controllers could lose control of it
The U.S. Navy launched an unmanned, autonomous aircraft the size of a fighter jet from a warship for the first time today, a development that could herald the end of Top Gun-style piloted air combat missions.
The X-47B drone is the first designed to operate an aircraft carrier, which allows it to be used around the world without needing permission to take off from airfields in other countries.
But there are concerns about the legality of what has been dubbed America’s ‘covert drone war’. Strikes cause widespread civilian deaths and operate with only limited oversight, critics say.
Controllers: Northrop Grumman test pilots, Dave Lorenz, centre, and Bruce McFadden, left, prepare to launch the new X-47B off the nuclear aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush off the coast of Virginia this morning. They issue orders to the autonomous drone using their forearm-mounted Control Display Units seen in this picture
Ready to go: Flight crews give the X-47B’s controllers a signal to launch. The drone is the first to operate from an aircraft carrier, which allows it to be deployed around the world with no need for permission to use airfields in other countries – increasingly difficult given the condemnation of the U.S. governments use of drone strikes
Lift off: The drone takes off from the end of the George H.W. Bush’s flight deck. The X-47B is able to operate totally using artificial intelligence in its on-board computers which merely need to be set objectives by the drone’s human operators. Critics have warned the technology is a step towards the development of ‘killer robots’
Aside from its ability to operate from aircraft carriers, another big difference between the X-47B and previous drones is that it does not need to be piloted by remote control.
Instead, it is controlled by a forearm-mounted box called the Control Display Unit which sends orders to an on-board computer which is able to use artificial intelligence to think for itself, plotting course corrections and charting new directions.
The unmanned drone will be set an objective by a human operator, for example a target to look at or bomb, and then it will navigate its way there using technology such as GPS, autopilot and collision avoidance sensors.
Critics have warned the introduction of such AI into military weapons systems is a step towards the development of autonomous ‘killer robots’. Navy officials say the drone will give them around-the-clock intelligence, surveillance and targeting capabilities.
Success: The prototype X-47B took off successfully this morning and made two low approaches to the ship before heading back toward land
Prototype: The test aircraft isn’t intended for operational use; instead, the military is using the information it gathers to develop the drone program
The prototype X-47B took off successfully this morning from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George H. W. Bush in the Atlantic Ocean off Virginia and made two low approaches to the ship before heading back toward land.
The test aircraft, which has been designed and built by the weapons maker Northrop Grumman, isn’t intended for operational use; instead, the military is using the information it gathers during these demonstrations to develop the drone program.
The Navy already operates two other unmanned aircraft: the small, low cost ScanEagle, which does not carry weapons; and the Fire Scout, which is armed but built more like a helicopter.

Russian billionaire reveals real-life ‘avatar’ plan – and says he will upload his brain to a hologram and become immortal by 2045
- Media mogul claims his 2045 project is ‘next step’ in human evolution
- Over 20,000 people have signed up the the initiative
- Calls for new religions and ethics to deal with immortality
A Russian billionaire has revealed controversial plans to upload his own brain and become immortal by 2045.
32 year-old Dmitry Itskov believes technology will allow him to live forever in a hologram body.
His ‘2045 initiative’ is described as the next step in evolution, and over 20,000 people have signed up on Facebook to follow its progress, with global conferences planned to explore the technology needed.
Still some work to do: 32 year-old Dmitry Itskov, seen here in prototype robotic form, believes he will be able to upload his brain to a hologram body in 2045 and live forever
‘We are in the process of creating focus groups of experts,’ said Itskov.
‘Along with these teams, we will prepare goal statements and research programs schedules.’
The foundation has already planned out its timeline for getting to a fully holographic human, and claims it will be ready to upload a mind into a computer by 2015, a timeline even Itskov says is ‘optimistic’.
‘The four tracks and their suggested deadlines are optimistic but feasible,’ he said of the foundation’s site.
‘This is our program for the next 35 years, and we will do our best to complete it.’
The ultimate aim is for a hologram body.
‘The fourth development track seems the most futuristic one,’ said Itskov.
‘It’s intent is to create a holographic body. Indeed, its creation is going to be the most complicated task, but at the same time could be the most thrilling problem in the whole of human evolution.’
Four steps to becoming an Avatar: The 2045 initiative says it will be able to upload a human mind to a hologram body by 2045 – and that the first mind transfer could happen in 2015
32 year-old Dmitry Itskov believes technology will allow him to live forever in a hologram body.
To help realize the lofty aim, he has set up the Global Future Congress, which held its first meeting in Moscow last year.
The congress will meet again in New York City this June, where it promises to unveil the most human-like robot the world has ever seen.
It will also addressing the ethical and social issues of immortality.
‘Modern civilization, with its space stations, nuclear submarines, iPhones and Segways cannot save mankind from the limitations in the physical abilities of our bodies, nor from diseases and death,’ the ‘2045’ Strategic Social Initiative says in its manifesto.
‘We believe that it is possible and necessary to eliminate aging and even death, and to overcome the fundamental limits of the physical and mental capabilities currently set by the restrictions of the physical body.
‘Before 2045 an artificial body will be created that will not only surpass the existing body in terms of functionality, but will achieve perfection of form and be no less attractive than the human body.
‘People will make independent decisions about the extension of their lives and the possibilities for personal development in a new body after the resources of the biological body have been exhausted.’
The initiative also believes the first generation of ‘android’ bodies will have superhuman capabilities.
‘The new human being will receive a huge range of abilities and will be capable of withstanding extreme external conditions easily: high temperatures, pressure, radiation, lack of oxygen, etc.
‘Using a neural-interface humans will be able to operate several bodies of various forms and sizes remotely.’
The project is also addressing the moral issues of living forever.
‘We suggest the implementation of not just a mechanistic project to create an artificial body, but a whole system of views, values and technology which will render assistance to humankind in intellectual, moral, physical, mental and spiritual development.‘
Itskov, a 31-year-old media entrepreneur, says that he aims to transplant a human brain into a robot body within 10 years. He says his technology will be of interest at first to the ‘disabled and close to dying’
‘This project is leading down the road to immortality,’ Itskov has said previously.
‘A person with a perfect Avatar will be able to remain part of society. People don’t want to die.’
Itskov envisages surgically ‘transplanting’ a human consciousness into a robot body within 10 years.
He hopes to then ‘upload’ minds without surgery, leaving human bodies as empty husks as their owners ‘live on’ inside robots.
The project is called Avatar after the James Cameron movie, set far in the future, where human soldiers use mind control to inhabit the bodies of human alien hybrids as they carry out a war against the inhabitants of a distant world.

Rise of the Cybermen: The Terminator-style bionic ear that could give people ‘superman’ hearing
- The 3D printed ear can ‘hear’ radio frequencies beyond the range of normal human ears
- It could soon be used in prosthetics, or developed as a hearing aid
A breakthrough bionic ear that can ‘hear’ radio frequencies beyond the range of normal human ears has been created by scientists at Princeton University.
The researchers used a radical 3D printing technique to create the ear with the electronics of a hearing aid inside it.
They say it is a major step towards creating ‘cybermen’ such as those seen in the Terminator films, which combine living cells and electronic circuits.
The finished ear consists of a coiled antenna inside a cartilage structure. Two wires lead from the base of the ear and wind around a helical ‘cochlea’ – the part of the ear that senses sound – which can connect to electrodes
PRINTING PROSTHETIC LIMBS IN 3D
Earlier this year, doctors from Cornell University used 3D printing to create a prosthetic ear using cells of cartilage.
A solid plastic mould was printed and then filled with high-density collagen gel.
The researchers then added cartilage cells into the collagen matrix.
For the prototype, they used cells taken from cows, but could in theory use cells of cartilage from elsewhere in the patient’s body.
Michael McAlpine, lead researcher and assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton Univeristy said ‘In general, there are mechanical and thermal challenges with interfacing electronic materials with biological materials.
‘Previously, researchers have suggested some strategies to tailor the electronics so that this merger is less awkward.
That typically uses a 2D sheet of electronics and a surface tissue.
‘However, our work suggests a new approach – to build and grow the biology up with the electronics synergistically and in a 3D interwoven format.’
Although McAlpine warns that further work and extensive testing would need to be done before the technology could be used on a patient, he said the ear in principle could be used to restore or enhance human hearing.
He added that electrical signals produced by the ear could be connected to a patient’s nerve endings, similar to a hearing aid.
The current system receives radio waves, but he said the research team plans to incorporate other materials, such as pressure-sensitive electronic sensors, to enable the ear to register acoustic sounds.
McAlpine’s team has made several advances in recent years involving the use of small-scale medical sensors and antenna.
The research could be used to create prosthetic ears that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing – and allow people to hear
Last year, a research effort led by McAlpine and Naveen Verma, an assistant professor of electrical engineering, and Fio Omenetto of Tufts University, developed a ‘tattoo’ made up of a biological sensor and antenna that can be fixed onto the surface of a tooth.
The bionic ear project, however, is the team’s first attempt at creating a fully functional organ – one that not only replicates a human ability, but extends it using embedded electronics.
In an article published in the Nano Letters journal, researchers said ‘The design and implementation of bionic organs and devices that enhance human capabilities, known as cybernetics, has been an area of increasing scientific interest.
‘This field has the potential to generate customized replacement parts for the human body, or even create organs containing capabilities beyond what human biology ordinarily provides.’
The machines in Terminator were made using cybernetics. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the T-800 model number 101 who tells John Connor in the film: ‘I’m a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton’
