Evolution is what got us here today, if you accept the scientific approach to our creation.

Self-contradict much? Probably, but he deserves some style points for doing it in a single sentence.

Can they print liberals a brain or is the skull too small?

Key Satanic phrase;

"Researcher Believes 3D Printing May Lead to the Creation of .. "

It's a computer laying down lines of material, none of which is "alive"

We can make artificial limbs, but we cannot make limbs

Watch the language used in this new technology

The problem with that idea is... if you want a designer one, you are going to have to let them chop off the one you’ve got first.

I don’t think too many guys would be keen on that part of the procedure.

I believe that before enhancement will come replacement and then perhaps augmentation. For example, replace damaged lungs. Then as technology improves, enhance lung capacity for extraction of oxygen from thin atmospheres or perhaps even gills to extract oxygen from water.

“It’s a computer laying down lines of material, none of which is “alive””

Nope:

“Organovo’s exVive3D Liver Models are bioprinted, living 3D human liver tissues consisting of primary human hepatocytes, stellate, and endothelial cell types, which are found in native human liver. The exVive3D Liver Models are created using Organovo’s proprietary 3D bioprinting technology that builds functional living tissues containing precise and reproducible architecture.”

Maybe. Maybe not. You could have two — different sizes and/or perhaps the new one might have built- in appliances for various exciting purposes ., .. The entire notion is, well, stimulating -—

I’d go for eyes of the eagle, sense of smell of a bear, elf ears and something that would allow my stomach to handle spicy food.

Like the “Death Soldier” app way up inside the most current Call Of Duty? It will take hours of your precious time just to find him, let alone utilize him.
Be afraid for your mind. Be very afraid.

Birds don’t feel the effects of capsaicin (the hot stuff in peppers), so maybe go for their digestive tract.

Just don’t take a bird’s tongue, or you wouldn’t be able to taste the spicy stuff either.
