3D printing a.. kidney?
Kinda stumbled over this video today, and thought it was a bit too amazing not to share:

Tailor made organs, made with the patients own cells.

This would be... I mean... and it... it could...!!!
Well shit!
My brother has polycystic kidneys, and I might have to end up donating him one.
I love you.
Even better than that they have spray on skin now.

Seriously?
I understand what he is saying, but after that I could not watch.
There are organs but you have to deal with rejection issues with certain types of organs. If they use a method like they're talking about here, using anti-rejection drugs is only needed temporarily or not even needed at all in some cases.
Oh yeah, you just did imagine that!
Are you kidding? You found that comment to out there you couldn't watch the rest? Hundres of people die every day due to the fact that there on transplant lists so long they have no hope of reaching the top. Some people are on the list for years before they make it to the top to get a transplant. His comment is a very true and very realistic problem. That coupled with the problem of your body rejecting the transplant, the number of people who are ineligible to give an organ, the number of people who actually give an organ and the fact that your kidneys are the only organ in your body where you can get rid of 1 of them and be fine.
But in reality this just proves Repo Men the movie will come true soon enough.
Not too out there...He sounded like a fear monger. That is all.
