So are you saying bio-printing is good or bad? Or not saying.

As far as I can see, it’s a good thing. If you need an organ transplant, wouldn’t you much prefer to have one that’s bio-printed than one that is “harvested” from a dead person? It also seems to me that with bio-printing, you could get a custom printed organ that more closely matches you (maybe EXACTLY) thus eliminating or reducing the need for anti-rejection drugs that compromise your immune system.

Disclosure: I bought stock in a bio-printing company years ago. Not a lot. I think I’m in the red on it, but still holding it.

Ok, I'm going to really think outside the box and go to the dark side. What's to say someone is offered or pressed / threatened to give an organ in exchange for a bio-printed one? I'll go even farther. Real organs can be replaced with bio-ones with or without permission..that might be already in place. Changing out orphans organ parts for real parts.

One could stay down in this hole and get more ugly. Most things in life that seem great/can easily turn into evil by evil people.
