Banking
Leaving banking, I am thinking about banking. When the red humour from the human system drains off, we irrigate the haematic fluid inside through vein-channels. ‘Blood Banks’ with sanguine loans come to our rescue. In cases of renal malfunction, we ransack kidney colonies for mercenary donors. Or don’t we eye greedily at the safest vaults for the bean-shaped organ - at the healthy kidneys inside the frames of our beloved ones? For grafting damaged skin, happily we become clients of ‘Skin Banks’. Those banks supply us with new apparel – bio-RMG, culled from the homo sapiens. In needs cellular, ‘Tissue Banks’ help us consummate the transaction. Aren’t ‘Eye Banks’ the last resort of the visually deprived or underprivileged ones? To cater to cerebral needs, there are ‘Brain Banks’. ‘DNA Data Banks’ through gene cartography help us circumnavigate the vast continents of bioinformatics. Oh that we only had a ‘Philanthropy Bank’ to supply us with liquefied humanity for intra-venous infusion into the sadistic, misanthropic minds!
Xenotransplantation
Renal failure? Kidney transplantation.
Hepatic carcinoma? Liver transplantation.
Cardiac malfunction? Heart transplantation.
Pneumatic disorder? Lungs transplantation.
Futuristic sounding though, the issue of ‘Total Head Transplantation’ is in the air. Hippocrates’s tribe has already consummated cross-species ‘organic marriage’. Teleologically driven, they brushed aside zoonotic fears and bioethical issues and have fixed the heart of a pig into the human bosom. Oh you, plumbers of the human systems, could you by your GPS navigation tools, identify the spot where the mind is hardwired and perform a much-wooed transplant? Could you substitute the satanic minds with benevolent ones from the Federal Reserve Bank of Species?
