I am a high schools student interested in going into either cardiac surgery or biomedical engineering. I used to just want to be a cardiac surgeon but became unsure because I've heard surgery is becoming more machine-based. I also heard that doctors in general are limited to drugs/treatments/etc they can prescribe due to regulations. Is this true and how hands on is surgery still?

What do you think about using stem cells to grow neurons to be implanted into to people need them? For example, paraplegics
