Medidcal Equpiment
I swear this oath by Apollo physician, and by all the gods and goddesses: In whatsoever place that I enter I will enter to help the sick and heal the injured, and I will do no harm.--Hippocratic Oath
Federation Medical Science has progressed to GURPS tech level 9, which includes human genetic engineering, tissue engineering, artificial wombs, and cybernetic implants [B512]. The ban on eugenics means human genetic engineering is used only to reverse damage, never to augment natural abilities. A cultural aversion to cybernetic implants means they are used only when necessary.
