I think we need rules protecting the rights of cyborgs, not just in sports.

Thanks, @Mooselake. It’s not too often I get the adrenal flush of doing something high-risk.

Belgrade has an innovative tool in the fight against dirty air - this so-called “liquid tree”.
It’s Serbia’s first urban photo-bioreactor, a solution for tackling greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality.
It contains six hundred litres of water and uses microalgae to bind carbon dioxide and produce pure oxygen through photosynthesis.
“The microalgae replaces two, 10-year-old trees or 200 square metres of lawn," said Dr Ivan Spasojevic, one of the authors of the project from the Institute for Multidisciplinary Research at the University of Belgrade.
"The system is the same because both trees and grass perform photosynthesis and bind carbon dioxide.
"The advantage of microalgae is that they are 10 to 50 times more efficient than trees.
“Our goal is not to replace forests but to use this system to fill those urban pockets where there is no space for planting trees.”

Could it be a version of the Guardian of Forever, placed in an unsuspecting population?
It has similar colors to 70’s & 80’s office equipment.

Here is information on the “royal lives clause” in contract law. It is a work-around for the common law rule against perpetuities, which prohibits instruments such as deeds or wills from controlling the disposition of private property beyond the life of a person alive at the time of creation of the instrument plus twenty-one years. A royal figure is often used because their descendants are well-documented. An example of a royal lives clause might be:
The option must be exercised before the end of the period ending at the expiry of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of all the lineal descendants of [his late Majesty King George V or some other British monarch] who have been born on the date of this agreement.

I bet they’ve also done it with human DNA but are not publicizing it.

Ja, of course! This meatball was created using the latest laboratory techniques. What’s that smell? Why, that is the exquisite aroma of the meatball. Nothing but the finest ingredients were used in its creation. But do not take my word for it – try it yourself… I insist…

Now if you turn that algae into algal biofuel you’re carbon neutral!
Ignoring all the coal fired electricity that you used making it, of course

Biofuel processing would be a good use of excess supply produced by renewables. Ammonia (thru electrolysis, or maybe Haber-Bosch with methane from sewage processing) would also be a good storage medium.
