So here I sit with all my biological components made up of
cells put together to make me a Digital Human. Each of these components can be defined
in terms of their cells and chemically analysed. Each of these chemicals making
up a cell can be digitally defined. Cells are continually being reproduced (or
not in some cases) so a defined process has to from within a cell decide to
make a new copy with all the instructions for doing so included. This instructions
are called a transcription process. These instructions can go wrong so we have
cancerous cell reproduction. The transcription instructions have to be
digitally defined (or possibly something similar to digital) to create a Biological
Programming Language.
Now if we consider that this Biological Programming Language
exists in the stem cells where the stem cell is the outstanding source of all
these instructions. From this one cell type embryos grow every other cell type
from muscles to neurons. Each cell type being made up of a different digital
gene code structures designed to achieve the specific purpose of the cell type.
So if you gain control over this Biological Programming
Language you have the capability to control cell reproduction through a
transcription mechanism. So you can reprogram stem cells to make any human cell
required. But doing so is not that straightforward because they have not got all
the genes in the newly created cell work properly. So the current version of
this Biological Programming Language is not fully controlling these
transcription processes. Although it would seem that a new company called Bit.Bio
may have developed some further technology that solves this problem.
