It’s certainly an exciting time to be alive.

I’d sign up for experiments to extend human life. I’ll take whatever pain comes along with it.

Love the concept and the science, and am hopeful it will eventually become clinically useful, but in reality there are still many, many obstacles to making replacement organs. 3D printing surgical implants etc. is already being done for certain applications, but this is a lot less complex than building an organ that has a number of different types of cells, joined together in a specific fashion within a specific matrix, with a complex blood supply etc. Nothing that’s been done to date has come close to replicating a viable fully functional organ.

You know what will happen right?
You are printing out a new kidney when you run out of fibrins or collagen or alginates.

Epson won’t print the rest of the kidney if you are out of one even if not needed.... : )

You hope that Office Depot is still open and has the needed fibrins or collagen or alginates and if they are open and do have the needed supplies, you will balk at the high price knowing you can buy them online for half the cost. : )
