Re: About ILB...

In Response To: About ILB... (SPARTAN-034)

: so we can only assume that a person's life span must be extended by the
: procedures.

Well, not strictly. Like I said, the fake medical record Halsey downloads, the Borens Syndrome one, still says that a side effect of the condition is to drastically shorten someones lifespan. Try and think of why that would be at all releveant in a coverup to Johnson. Takes me back to the 'ages phsycially slower but doesn't actually extend overall lifespan'
It still lets them be a very effective solider for pretty much their whole life though.

As for medical advancements, well the Halo universe is an odd one in that it has some very sci-fi technologies, like starships, faster than light travel etc.
But its also still using a lot of technology that isn't out of place right here right now. The weapons are the most obvious thing. Nukes, missiles and guns that wouldn't look that out-of-place in a current soldiers hands.

I think we get a good view of medical technology in the Halo universe with the Spartans augmentation process which is considered highly experimental and dangerous with a high fatality rate. As for cloned organs/limbs, that also isn't very far off for us. I think the main thing standing in the way of that is internatinal laws about cloning.
