Today I read about bio printing. What is that you ask? Well scientists have come up with a printer that might also be able to print out bio material in the future. So far they have designed it to engineer an exact silicone replica of the "donor". With this instead it could be created exactly for the person who needs to use it without worry of the body rejecting it. They still have a long way to go before the point of real human tissue and cells but that's where they want it to end up. It could be anything from an ear or finger to kneecap! They are still testing though so we will just have to keep our eyes and ears open for updates;]
WOW! Not gonna lie this article kind of scared me that's really mind blowing to think about a printer, PRINTING OUT a real live LIMB! But this would be revolutionary and could even change the medical world. Heart transplants and things of that nature, would be way less risky [if it eliminates the risk of rejection] and countless other things. I think this could be a good thing but at the same time it's hard for me to imagine something that far advanced at this point. I want to hear what you all think too. Here's the URL too if your interested [there is a video link in full article].
wow this is awesome..there's so many people who die every year because they don't have an organ doner it's sad.
ReplyDeleteThis would be fantastic! So many people wait for organs for too long.
ReplyDeleteI think in the meantime we can all be organ donors. You never know. I would want someone to benefit from my untimely deminse if possible.
Interesting, never had it crossed my mind that one day we might be able to do stuff like this, incredible
ReplyDeletei dont know wat to think i mean neext they will be "PRINTING" whole humans. THEN WAT??????????????????????????
ReplyDeleteAre they making an organ from scratch or just reconstructing an organ from another person to be perfect for the person who needs it? well either way thats awesome!
ReplyDeletethats gonna take alot of ink!
