I have just finished watching RoboCop on a legit channel – at a cinema, of course, and the question of fusing human as well as robot parts together continues to be an interesting aspect that might very well be the future if science manages to catch up with fiction. In fact, surgeons over at the University of Michigan Health System might have taken the first step in the right direction after managing to develop a customized DNA chip known as a microarray which will be able to help diagnose eye disorders, while having successfully performed their first ever surgery which involves implanting artificial retinas into the eyes of patients who suffer from retinitis pigmentosa, which happens to be a degenerative eye disease that will eventually lead to blindness if nothing is done.
