     1.7 +- spinal relay :: you have a small air-gapped repeater built into your
     1.8 +     spine in order to help with spinal injury, connect with
     1.9 +     prosthetics, and to monitor/control your body. Also, you could
    1.10 +     add the ability to save "macros"!
    1.11 +
    1.12 +- human cysts :: there should be communities of people with varying
    1.13 +     enforced separations from the rest of society in order to gaurd

    1.16 +- bioelectric synthesis :: have a device which stores a lot of energy,
    1.17 +     and processes blood by creating sugar from waste produces over
    1.18 +     the day. You still need water, vitamins, minerals, etc, but this
    1.19 +     can handle the bulk of your energy demands and be recharged from
    1.20 +     the wall.
    1.21 +
    1.22 +- chelation as a method to improve cryoprotectant permeability ::
    1.23 +
    1.24 +- transgender fruit analogy :: like tomatoes

    1.26 +- video game controllers as actual controllers :: console controlers
    1.27 +     like the n64 trident are excellent, durable tools for fine
    1.28 +     control. We should use them to control all sorts of things like
    1.29 +     robots by default. You should use it for your projects, since
    1.30 +     it's unlikely you'll be able to come up with something
    1.31 +     better. Compared to console controllers, the ones we use for
    1.32 +     robots/RC stuff are hopelessly clunky.

    1.34 +- bubble computers :: bubble duality, bubble computing

    1.36 +- dark blood bag :: blood bags in hospitals should be dark colored to

    1.38 +
    1.39 +- chimeric homozygous sex chromosomes :: chimeric organism with XX and
    1.40 +     XX patterns from two males and two females. On average, it has

    1.42 +
    1.43 +- horseshoe blood fixative :: would it work as a washout?
    1.44 +
    1.45 +- fixed protein packets :: group of fixed proteins in a network which

    1.53 +- earth air water :: species name their planet "dirt" in their

    1.63 +     sword) he rides along the land, defending the code of
    1.64 +     chivralirary and keeping the orthodozy of society from fading
    1.65 +     from the realm.
    1.66 +
    1.67 +- technological deflation :: even the richest robber baron from the
    1.68 +     1920's could not afford a cardiac bypass surgery, even with
    1.69 +     literally all the money they had. As technology advances, the
    1.70 +     price of bread may go up, but the capabilities which money gives
    1.71 +     you also dramatically increase.
    1.72 +
    1.73 +- cure for color blindness :: could it be possible to administer some
    1.74 +     retroviruses via direct injection to the retina, to cause some of
    1.75 +     the cells in the retina to begin expressing different color
    1.76 +     pigments? The brain ought to easily sort out the rest and enable
    1.77 +     color vision. Furthremore, could we add some more colors to

    1.79 +
    1.80 +- mental integrity test :: if your brain starts to decay, you might

    1.84 +     designed to catch the early signs of degenerative brain
