Some times it is referred (in an insulting way) to as the biomechanical model. To some extent that is true since a biomedical model

A very common controversial topic within the career of biomedical engineering is genetics. Within biomedical engineering comes what is known as “germline engineering”. In this branch engineers partake in cell and modifications. Dr. Philip Brey (2009) refers to this is as a “more controversial practice in which genes in eggs‚ sperm
