      I have also used genetic code to repair my epidermis with a fibrous tissue after injury. It keeps moisture in and pathogens out.

      Future humans will be part human, part lizard, part zebra fish, and seveal other species. We will regrow teeth, heart, and limbs. Sometimes we might accidentally grow a tail.

    "Zebrafish mends damaged organs using Genetics and Code."

        if (organIsDamaged()) {
        dont();
    }
