Okay, I ripped this idea off from a video game, but,


What if we made an implant, that contained grafted to it an genetically modified lymph node that was embryonic in nature so that it wouldn't be rejected by the body (embryonic tissues, and baby tissue before month 15 I believe doesn't possess antigens so it doesn't cause as much immune problems).

This modified immune lymph node would have the following genetic modifications-

- A complete regenerative, active glycolysis cycle- It would be able to use glycolysis like bacteria and keep the process going. This would afford it much, much more energy, and allow it to not need oxygen.

- Telomerase production- This could allow the Immune cell to reproduce like crazy, without suffering age related losses in strength.

- Production of Vitamin C- Humans have lost the ability, but this ability could lead the Immune cell to be protected against both exterior and internal free radicals that it generates.

- Hyperactivity- These immune cells could be hyperactive, hyper vigilant, increasing their effectiveness at killing prey.

Anyways, the artificial genetically modified lymph node could be grown in a lab, then shipped out to people who could get a lymph node injection.

To prevent it from being cancerous, a cancer innoculation could be given.

It would take alot of work, but it would lead to the end of a huge number of diseases. Once someone had this, their immunity would be permanently increased to the point that it would eliminate the need from a large number of various disasters.

again... if it was that easy...
