Since I can think I've always loved the idea of changing the source code of life, I also never understood why we don't regrow body parts once we have lost them.

From a nature standpoint of view, nature does not care about the single individual as long as the species survives. I don't like that behaviour.

Imagine a caveman who lost his arm in a fight with some animal. It just takes more energy to regrow parts and the caveman would be vulnerable all the time so nature decided to take that awesome feature away.

What nature does not realise is, that we now have the time to regrow body parts, there is no danger anymore, somebody who lost a leg can recover in a hospital.

And I'm 99% certain that we will regrow body parts in the next 15-20 years and I'd love to be a part of that revolution.

CRISP is another big thing that has the potential to cure diseases, those we call incurable.

All those facts and the possibilities of extending the human race makes me very excited.

So my niche would be Biochemistry, I choose that field because I think Biochemistry is the C and Assembly language of the human body.
