Synopsis
Documentary about bioengineering. In the synergy between biology and technology, humans are becoming more machine-like and machines are becoming more human. Part 1 illustrates advances in genetics and bioengineering that improve and mechanize our bodies. Computer-controlled hands, auditory implants, retinal implants and optic advancements demonstrate how the new technology revolutionizes all systems in the human body. Part 2 introduces a new breed of robots that are smarter and more "human" than ever. Engineers are making new discoveries about the human brain to design artificial beings that can think and live on their own.
