Placebo surgery healing is an unexplained medical phenomenon like the 'placebo' effect and the still-weirder: 'nocebo'!

You! You must have done some kind of a change to some part of your anatomy. But, the rich and famous are upping the ante on the underclass that they go now to pre-paid 'surgery safaris' to stay untill the wounds completely heal somewhere in South Africa! These 'surgiholics' often deny the visible fact that they actually had say, a boob augementation op (the bustalization of plastits or Frankenboobs!) and are called the 'plastic closet' (or, in this very case 'Double-D-nials'!), or attend their own Botox Party (called 'BotoseXuals') and if they have no time for having a 'Botie', then they can have a 'lunchtime' lipo (a.k.a. microsuction: chemicals injected in desired areas to dissolve cellulite, like Lipostabil or 'flab jab'), or resolve to the latest UAL (Ultra-sound assisted liposuction), E-UAL (External ultrasound-assisted liposuction), VAL (Vaser® Assisted Liposuction), PAL (power-assisted liposuction: a 5000-rpm cannula headed SAL 'suction-assisted liposuction')... the list is long.

Body fascism is all the rage now... the dead also get their share of the cosmetic market: 'necro-cosmetics' is cosmetic surgery for the injured and defaced dead!

Famous, rich people (Ted Williams the baseball player?), led the craze and others just followed lead now they are called 'Alcorians' as a collective noun to refer to this emerging class of 'cryonauts': the cryogenically-suspensed Alcor 'residents', who vary from cryo-sleeping 'corpsicles' frozen in 'dewars', filled with cryoprotectants alongside their friends and families (or the 'context'!), in a 'patient' care bay connected 24/7/365 to 'crackphones' that moniter fissures in their bodies all the time including special 'respirocycles' (artificial O2-breathing bloodcells pumped into their bodies at a regular basis!) and going through their first life-cycle (second re-freeze 'matrix' that replaces 60% of the water inside to turn their tissues into a glass-like liquidform)... and those who believe that one day science can be able to clone their bodies from 'neuropreserved' genetic material and who wish to be 'cephalically-isolated' (called 'neuros' in the jargon of Alcorians that use this neuroengineering technology occasionally) until 'reanimated'... to those who wish to be frozen while still alive in a process called 'vistasis'!
This 'utopian biotechnology' (also called 'paradise engineering'), has created an 'enhancement divide' between those 'terraformers' (unpreserved humans!) and the transhumanists who aspire for what they call 'morphological freedom' in these stainless steel vats.
We are face-to-face with this new 'biological fundamentalism' of 'self-evolution' that refer derogatorily to us Dustafarians by such Alcorians and Extropians as mere humans (mehums), or 'humies'!

The arties (AIs) in the future will look at us Dustafarians and laugh: they were the cryonicit's mad dream, but now they are the immortal enhants, RoboSapiens, the homorphs (human morphs), the neomorphs, ultra-humans, pseudohumans, the transhumans, the post-humans... the exes who 'transed' from mere flesh ,to the 'technorapture'.
One day, machines will overcome humans and enslave them in what scientists pre-describe as the point of 'Singualrity' or artificial emergence! (This really has already happened only in silico: 'network emergence' of Internet-based AI).

A wild and really off-the-wall theory had recently emerged when one scientist predicted that 'smart dust' (these tiny, little nanostructured machines that can collect 'atoms' from the air!) will in a couple of decades lead to what he called the 'global ecophagy' theory : these nanobots come eqiupped with small nanoscal-blades and thus capable of eating away at the whole Earth, leaving in their trail what became known as 'grey goo'! Some other, even madder scientists have also predicted that there would be other 'police' nanobots that will control the others' action and named these 'blue goo'!
Any way, seriously there is today quiet a concern for what is called 'nanotoxicolgy', or nanopollution: the prediction of the harmful effects nanos can make on the 'nanosphere' and the impact of using AMOs (atomically-modified organisms), that are basically GMOs on atom-scale manipulation.
Finally, there's a new role that nanotechnology is playing right now in bringing together different sciences and pitting them together to create a stranger-than-fiction new one: NBIC (nanotechnology, biotechnology, information and cognitive science) that long-awaited science that can make the TransHuman dream a reality!

This recent 'asteroid anxiety' has prompted the UN to start what it called an 'asteroid defense' program that plans to put into the 'killer' asteroid's rock structure a space 'bullet': a fly-by-satellite mini-nuke weapon that rides on the asteroid using its own 'microgravity' and then plant the bomb inside its hollow to blow it.

PHAs (potentially-hazardous asteroids) are various in size and impactability-risk and two scales have been put to calculate the risk against the Big Splat:
-The Torino Scale (uses a scale from 0 - 10 for regular impactability).
-The Palermo Scale (uses stats from average-sized NEOs 'near-earth objects' over a long period of time, on a scale from -2 - 0).
