			My memories of the StarTrek series is that as a general rule the only time that you saw medical intervention was in the case of trauma. So 'tis quite likely that other then trauma, medicine takes a very Hippocratic approach, where proper diet and lifestyle enhances the quality of life and produces greater longevity and productivity, on its own.

	Alright, how widespread is this stuff? I imagine in the Federation, they restrict it. The OA may go all out. The Empire probably restricts it to themselves and the great houses. The Borg probably use it in ways that would scare anyone. The Romulans may hate it but study it to defend against it. And that's all I've got so far.		Alright, how widespread is this stuff?

	So, what are we looking at? Today, we have roughly a 50-60 year useful adult lifespan and 6-10 of that are taken up by education. Given the ability to replace damaged organs, limbs, etc., with a minimum of disruption, repair general aging, better cancer and disease treatments, we're probably looking at at total lifespan of 120+ years, with maybe 80 of that useful adult lifespan.

			== Neural interface ==

			Things that read nerves are probably ''easy''. We've got a version now being used in prosthetic limbs. Things that can stimulate tactile nerves are moving out into production as well - artificial legs with feet that feel the ground and feed it to the wearer.

			So, for bionics and feedback for teleoperation would be pretty easy in the 29th century.

			What else can you do with it? Well, getting it ''beyond'' simple reading of limb motion and providing tactile feedback, it builds on the stuff I mentioned above, particularly neuropsychology and its tools -fMRI and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Between the two of these, they can 'read' the brain, particularly for physical motion and some sensory issues. Heck, they've reached the point where they can pull the image from a brain now. Now, the interface can see what the person wearing it sees. Probably all the other senses too. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, maybe ultrasonics, they can induce the appropriate hallucinations as well.

			Not easy. I doubt its cheap and the potential for abuse is '''huge'''. Probably restricted pretty heavily by most governments.
