Human Power For Human Upgrades

Dozix007 writes "The human body, like any other machine requires energy to operate. However, during operation we release residual heat which can be used for power. Many people who rely on pacemakers and other artifical devices in their bodies may recieve 'upgrades' to avert the many surgeries per. year to replace dead and dying batteries. Not quite the Matrix yet, but we are getting there."

    Perhaps we are not as far from it then. But taking heat from our bodies to produce energy would prompt our bodies to produce more energy thus consuming more resources. I doubt that it would be a viable solution any time in the future.
