    What is bio hacking?

    I think the mods on this community should implement a rule or maybe a suggestion that people expand on the topic. I’m saying this because it does seem like a topic that would interest me, but without context and having no previous knowledge of it, I’ll just move on to the next post.

      My understanding is people who make hardware upgrades to their body:

      • ametur surgery to add a magnet to your index finger
      • taking eye enzymes from cave fish and injecting it into a friends eye rk get short term super night vision
      • attaching two prosthetic legs that makes you run faster and longer
      • open source hardware and software for an artificial pancreas

      Stuff like that
