Questions:
- Imagine that you are an accident and you are in a hospital. You have the choice to treat yourself in a traditional way (2 weeks treatment) or choose an innovative method treatment with a special material that communicates with your body. What would you choose and why?
- Does modern medicine cure faster and more effectively than traditional medicine?
- What do you think about biomaterials?

I think that the answer to the first question depends on the severity of the problem, but I might try this new method, of course, if there won't be any major side-effects.
In my opinion, modern medicine is better, but I cannot think of an example that can prove it. In fact, I think modern medicine helped us to cure things that 20 years ago were considered almost impossible to cure.
I wonder if they are just some 'bio-plastic' type thing or they are actually grown from your own cells. Either way, I think they might be very helpful in achieving the true self-regeneration power.
If these materials were safe I would propably choose them. They will help me to regenerate better and faster so I do not see any contraindications.
According to the video I must say that modern medicine will cure more effectively. Also the regenerated cells will be stronger. She said that in some cases our muscles develop fat cells after an injury. Using modern ways of treatment can improve the process and help our bodies to regenerate better.
In my opionion biomaterials should be developed in order to extend our lives and also make treatment more pleasant.
Frankly speaking it sounds to good to be true.
I would try an innovative method of treatment with all those special materials and etc just because it’s faster and spending 2 weeks using traditional treatment is just too long for me. There are a lot of things that could be done during these 2 weeks. As for me trying something new is always a challenge, I realize that it could be dangerous and I may hurt myself even more but if there is a chance I would undoubtedly try it.
I have no idea what medicine do doctors use during my treatment process that’s why it’s pretty hard to answer this question for me. I would say that modern medicine cure faster just because we already have an idea of how our body works on low level and we are able to use this knowledge in order to speed up this process.
I hope it’s our future, but as I said it sounds to good to be true.
Modern treatments have always been a substitute for traditional treatments, provided that all of the standard medical tests have passed. To provide a treatment for humans, they typically test several different treatments and treat animals, then test a small group of humans if the results are better than previous treatments. , This treatment is suitable for previous treatments.
There is a key role in providing solution in the treatment, testing, and result of tests and performing multiple tests.
I believe that the most effective is immunity. The body itself can recover and the only way I can help it is to take vitamins D and B for bones, to drink vitamins A and E for healthy complexion and skin (this helps heal wounds quickly).
I think that biomaterials are still foreign components entering the living organism, and time must pass so that the body perceives such treatment positively, there is always the fear that the biomaterial will not be perceived by the body. I believe that it is not yet time to become Wolverine, and the human body itself is unique and interesting, so I will wait until such a method becomes widely used.
As long as it would not have any kind of negative impact on my organism in a long-term perspective I would obviously chose an innovative option. It would allow me to recover quicker and so not affect any of my daily routines.
2. Does modern medicine cure faster and more effectively than traditional medicine?
It surely does cure faster. When it comes to effectiveness, it is more invasive so it is very individual.
3. What do you think about biomaterials?
I think that every innovation can be valuable to the society. Even despite not being 100% effective, it still allows to help some of the people and so is worth all of the time spent on its development.
No doubt , that modern medicine has become better and will become better. Nowadays everyone can choose himself whether to take a pill or not. I used to be ill quiet often in my childhood and I my mom didn`t give me any pills, so I think thats why now I have strong immune system.
Biomaterials is still a new technology that has pros and cons, but however it already helping thousands of people all over the world.
Of course modern medicine works better and faster than the traditional one. This is the modern approach - to not cure by using the external stuff, but to make a body being able to cure itself. No doubt modern medicine is not only more effective in treating, it is also helps to make the human body more protected from already treated damage in future.
I think I would go first with traditional way of treatment. I still do not believe in "innovative methods" when it comes to serious illness. Faster not always means better. If traditional methods doesn't work I would try innovative ones but only in that condition.
2. Does modern medicine cure faster and more effectively than traditional medicine?
Possibly yes but as I said - faster don't always means better. It effectiveness is very individual and everything should be agreed with doctor.
3. What do you think about biomaterials?
I think in general it has big value for some people as it helps them to live. It is still a new technology but I think it should be developed further and help more and more people with different issues.
I don't know how modern medicine is curing, but I would risk that it is certainly better than traditional medicine. You often hear about face transplants or even headaches. I believe that it would not have been possible without the development of medicine
Question if modern medicine indeed delivers miraculous results it promises is often asked these days. Anti-vaccine movements question our fundamental weapon against contagious diseases, people are afraid of treatments they don't really understand and want to go back to traditional, if not outright ancient practices. But if you take a look at the history of mankind, you'll clearly see how much our lives have improved thanks to medicine. 400 years ago people were dying at sea due to scurvy, not understanding what vitamins were. 200 years ago more people were dying in our cities then were born there. Before antibiotics, people were often dying to simple infections and every wound was a huge risk. Unlike today.
But thankfully we have the scientist, who are pushing the boundaries of our knowledge farther. And to the wonders of our age, we hope to add new ones - regeneration, gene therapies, and others. We no longer strive only to conquer diseases, but we are taking long, hard look at the death itself. Who knows, maybe thanks to those new materials we can prolong our lives, make them more comfortable and live better.
That is rather question for statistics and not for regular people with a lot of superstitions.
New shiny world with new biological materials would be great. People would be able to sustain more productive life longer which will make our society better.
Will we be immortal thanks to that?
I think that regeneration will not make us immortal but it extends our lives
You're half right, some methods of treatment are effective in its traditional execution, eg in my case I had problems with the spine and none of the modern methods helped me. It was only the masseur who could set all my circles
If they develop it, they will definitely check if it is safe
I think so too, that it is not time to be a wolverin. But it does not change the fact that regeneration would make our life easier
I agree with you. Thanks to biomaterials people will be less get sick or quickly regenerate which will contribute to greater productivity
Sounds a bit like a cyberpunk :) :)
I think medicine evolve through ages and nowadays has a lot more possibilities to heal wounds faster, cure diseases that hadn't been about to cure before.
IMO, biomaterials are the real future of modern medicine. It's still a long way before it becomes popular and more available and we need to keep learning about them and developing it.
Undoubtedly modern medicine is way more effective than traditional one when it comes to serious diseases e.g.: cancer where traditional medicine can’t help. When we talk about common illnesses like cold or flu traditional methods are often more effective and less invasive than modern therapies.
I consider biomaterials a great invention which, by using science and technology, allow for helping people with different diseases to fully recover e.g.: by using implants.
Yes, modern medicine ( unconventional medicine ) cure faster and effectively than traditional medicine but one condition must be met that everything will go well. I know that this answer is stupid but it’s true.
Biomaterials are certainly a very future technology that should be developed but I don’t have a lot of knowledge about this so I don’t know what to say.
It's really hard to answear because no one can be sure how he/she would act. But my guess is that I would stay with classical medicine and drugs.
>Does modern medicine cure faster and more effectively than traditional medicine?
I do not think that such a thing as traditional medicine exists, so I would say modern medicine is better ;)
>What do you think about biomaterials?
They are nice ;)
I think that modern medicine cure faster and more effectively, especially if we’re talking about serious diseases, and not about the common cold.
Biomaterials is future of medicine, but for now it should be developed and researched.
Also I would check which one from above metods are better and choose better one.
2. Yes. That's why we can live much longer than 500 years ago. Strange question I can say... Everything that is upgraded is better since it's proven with science. Antybiotics, new drugs, surgeries? That was beyond people's mind some time ago. Now we have it and it's proven to help us.
3. It's still in development, but I'm excited about them. We need smart people to do research about biotechnology and nanotechnology. Maybe in the near future we will be treated with better and better medicines due to growth of knowledge. :)
I hope that modern medicine cure faster than traditional medicine. People are still working on new drugs. I can see difference between current medicine and from my childhood. I hope that everything is moving in the right direction.
Biomaterials will probably be future of medicine but people need to spend a lot of time on research before using it in real life. It's everything what I know about it.
I can’t comment on whether modern medicine cures faster. I think it depends on the domain and it’s just too early to tell, according to my definition of „modern” (introduced after 2010).
As for the biomaterials, I think this is a very interesting and exciting topic. A matter that communicates or lives in symbiosis with human body seems like something out of science fiction and, as shown in science fiction, would have both positive and negative uses (e.g. as bioweapon). Nevertheless, I think scientists should pursue researching it for the greater good.
I think there is a tradeoff, as always. Modern medicine cures faster in most cases, but it's not as tested as traditional medicine. So if you are willing to take that risk, it's better for you to use modern medicine in my opinion.
I don't have much knowledge in this area, so I cannot elaborate on what I think about biomaterials.
But admit that the biomaterial is an interesting future ! :)
I probably wouldn't want to be a first person that tests this materials, but if scientists will proof safety of such methods, I will use modern techniques.
Does modern medicine cure faster and more effectively than traditional medicine?
I don't know that. From my perspective anything accept technical equipment didn't change for last 30 years. And all methods are the same.
What do you think about biomaterials?
I think that it is the future, because we need new changes in medicine. And it's a step to longer human lives. Because we would be able to replace our organs for example.
I don't really know an answer to that after watching this. I expect some new solutions to common problems are being constantly developed, but I intuitively I would say there is a reason to do both depending on the case.
I think bio stuff is promising. I always wonder if the medicine manages to develop fast enough to extend my life unusually.
It's hard to say how it really works because I have never been in a hospital and I have not used any of these methods even if they do not exist yet. It is certain that today's medicine heals faster than that which was 100 years ago.
Biomaterials are a hope for our future, with such technology we will not have to worry about minor injuries that nowadays affect our lives quite strongly.
