A look at the fantastic future in store for the human body, as scientists at an American university are currently working on what may be the first step towards "bionic" humans. When Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, the doctor's dream was to build a superhuman, not a monster. In future, his counterparts may well succeed in building a superior human being with extraordinary surgical and genetic procedures.
