Thanks for the ping, literary idea pass on ping to others.
Imagine being able to replace that foot that got eaten by that ruglike critter..
Earlier today I was thinking that to build the scaffolding of such things as bones and teeth they might need to remove all the living tissue, (as they do for cadaver donors), and process only the minerals.
This would mean they could form up a tooth, let us say, and print or inject the cells grown from your own body that would colonize that form, and then ultimately implant the tooth into the missing space in your jaw that needs it.
So when you buy your kid’s teeth, masquerading as the Tooth Fairy, you might want to hang onto those raw materials.
Priceless, you know.
