One big question: Why can't we 3D print functioning organs today?

Almighty didn’t have a ‘backup’ plan.

There has been some indication the so call “junk DNA” may be that elaborate backup system.

Please help me understand...

Why? Do you always call someone stupid and rude, multiple times in multiple posts, and then ask them for explanations?

How has that worked out for you?

[StAnDeliver]

Because if it was that simple, it would have been done by now. Stem->Tissue->Organ replication requires scaffolding. Now there's the potential for 3D printing, not the actual organ...

“Why am I asking this on FR when Doctors at Mayo probably aren’t sure”

Er... I don’t know? What was your question again?

ROFL!!! Who’s on third?

I had in mind some kind of built in 'RAID' (i.e., like a HDD) for the brain, but I've always suspected there is more to "junk DNA" than we know as well. Sumpin else, there is MUCH more to dreaming that we know, as well.

Actually, we know very little about anything that really matters. :)

There is lots of good news due to work that has been done for vets returning with traumatic brain injury.

Google:
Traumatic brain injury research
vitamin D
Vitamin C
Ketogenic diets

Good luck

Here is one thing I highly recommend, and I know for fact that it works:

"...The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."

The person doesn't even have to be "religious", just the best, most decent/pious/loving person you know (you will know them by their fruits) - and that may even be you.

Ask them to pray for your injuries to fully recover, and very importantly, on a regularly basis - perhaps daily.

Even more powerful, if they touch you - in this case your head, after asking (even silently to themselves) for the Almighty to touch you first, before they do.

I don't understand the science/power behind it, but it works, and for all body parts - sometimes almost immediately, sometimes more slowly over a period of time.

The verse above can be found in James, and this advice was given to us by the Messiah. At least the seeking a righteous person part. The other is from my beloved grandmother who passed at 93.

Bless you and God help you fully recover.

That's ok. The author of this article doesn't have a clue about how organs function or why the shape isn't necessarily what determines functionality, but it didn't stop him from writing an article about it.

LOL! Well, then I will agree to remain extremely confused. ;)

Have a nice long weekend, FRiend! :)

THANK YOU!!!

The vets are what matters but if the research has been done, I’ll borrow :)
