I'm going back to college because I want to do cutting-edge science for a living.
What field should I major in if I want to develop enhancements of human bodies with mechanical attachments and/or bioengineering to make organisms better? Biology? Engineering? Neurology?

CS with specialization in machine learning. Take all the data points and cuck the other majors out of jobs.
Like Deus Ex augmentations or just the standard cancer-free cells?

genetic engineering combined with stem cell research would be some noble breaking ground for science. Neurology is pretty much done, it's about time we've figured out how to code regenerative neurons into stem cells and sell them for surgical applications.

If you want to develop mechanical attachments for human enhancements do psychology.

By bioengineering do you mean stuff like artificial heart valves and prosthetics, or do you mean genetic engineering? Those are basically two separate tracks. For the former, get an engineering degree, for the latter, major in biochemistry or biology.

Good fucking luck you dumb shit.
Get in line,you and everyone else is fighting over funding.

I should've said I want to get into the *field* which I believe is the cutting edge, which I feel strongly is hardware attachments to human bodies.

Major in math, go to grad school for biomedical engineering.

Is going to grad school for bme really necessary?
