Yet, for all our technological hubris, we have not replicated the human body. The most advanced supercomputer requires 10 megawatts of power; the brain runs on 20 watts. No robot has the dexterity of the human hand (which has 27 bones, 29 joints, and 123 ligaments). No synthetic membrane beats the selectivity of the phospholipid bilayer of a human cell.
To keep cells alive, the body needs a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients. The Human Body

The body can also adapt to physical demands, such as exercise and training, which can lead to increased strength, endurance, and flexibility. Additionally, the body has an incredible capacity for repair and regeneration, with some tissues, such as the liver, able to regenerate themselves in a matter of weeks.
