Some such implants are already widely used and are well known to the general public; the pacemaker, used to regulate the beating of the heart, was one of the first bionic devices to be commonly used. Perhaps the most publicized bionic devices in recent times are the increasingly sophisticated artificial limbs that have received a great deal of attention in the press because of their impact on the lives of soldiers who have lost arms and legs in the fighting in the Middle East. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://cloningmagazine.com/implants.html">One instance of this kind of research is currently being pursued at the ARC Centre for Excellence for Electromaterials Science in Australia. At ARC, filaments of polymers-- very large molecules like starches, proteins, and nylon that are formed by linking together many small molecules--that conduct electricity are being inserted into living tissues</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/74F0B3CA-678F-4B8D-9ACC-8D76D2ED73E8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
