  1. There are biological limitations to this type of technology. I'll give an example. When a heart surgery patient goes on bypass, their blood is circulated by a perfusion machine. The longer their blood circulates through said perfusion machine, the more it breaks down. They can only remain on bypass for a few hours, then the risk of permanent brain and organ damage sets in. This is because our blood does not like to circulate through anything other than living tissue, i.e. arteries, veins, etc. Circulating through all of the plastic tubes causes it to break down. A similar thing happens with tissue-computer interfaces. You'd have to be pumped full of antibiotics and other serious drugs to arrest this process for these devices to work long-term.
