| GURPS Bio-Tech (Tabletop Game) | comment |
GURPS Bio-Tech, by David Morgan-Mar and David Pulver, is a GURPS supplement dedicated to all manner of organic technologies — mostly science-fictional, but with some coverage of historical and contemporary medicine and science too. Strictly speaking, there have been two books with this title; the first, by Pulver alone, was for GURPS third edition, while the second was enlarged and expanded, and updated the material for GURPS fourth edition. | |

Uterine Replicator | |
| GURPS Bio-Tech (Tabletop Game) / int_1b88fa4e | comment |
Uterine Replicator: The "growth tank" is the most straightforward way to grow cloned or genetically engineered humans or animals, or simply to grow babies when a natural pregnancy is impossible. Depending on the setting, growth tanks may also accelerate the fetus' gestation, though it's not always the case. | |

Hermaphrodite | |
| GURPS Bio-Tech (Tabletop Game) / int_2bd44a0f | comment |
Hermaphrodite: It's mentioned that 'Genetic engineering would allow the reliable creation of functional hermaphrodites. A "utopian" society might try to give everyone this trait to ensure sexual equality (no sexual discrimination if everyone is both sexes)'. This trait is a 0-point feature. | |

Organic Technology | |
| GURPS Bio-Tech (Tabletop Game) / int_5874eb12 | comment |
Organic Technology: Bio-Tech is all about this when discussing high tech levels. Aside from the various new pieces of tech presented in the book (including a sentient sponge-brain-tree-Neo Christian house), the writers also suggest that one can simply treat advanced technology from other sourcebooks as being organic in origin. | |

Genetic Abomination | |
| GURPS Bio-Tech (Tabletop Game) / int_5c8f59dd | comment |
Genetic Abomination: In keeping with the game's assumption of a realistic baseline, most of the products of imagined future biotechnology in supplements such as Bio-Tech are relatively low-key, but a few are abominable, such as the scary "Chronos" (genetically engineered warriors) or the venomous neo-vampire bat. | |

Magic Genetics | |
| GURPS Bio-Tech (Tabletop Game) / int_5e105542 | comment |
Magic Genetics: The supplement has a section on magical genetic engineering. Along with replicating scientific possibilities, it allows genengineering ability to cast any spell into a not-yet-born child. It is cheaper than making an ordinary magical item, but risks making a Phlebotinum Rebel. Otherwise, it tries hard to avert this trope. For example, angel-like wings can be genengineered, but don't give the ability to fly in 1 G. They might be useful at lower gravity or in a space habitat, though. | |

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke | |
| GURPS Bio-Tech (Tabletop Game) / int_5ec15a79 | comment |
Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: The supplement is dedicated to biotechnology, medicine, and genetic engineering. While, in keeping with the GURPS system's realism-based model, most of the products of genetic engineering described are relatively low-key, there are some radically advanced options, such as biological spaceships and "proteus viruses" that completely transform living things. | |
