Don’t think playing around in God chemistry set is a good idea.
Thing is, if this was developed only the ultra rich and other elites would reap the benefits of such advancements.
Anyone think a regular person on ACA would ever get a needed organ??? I think not
God also gave us the minds to conceive of possibilities like this. I’m not buying the God’s chemistry argument, since we’re talking about growing body parts, not people! So unless there is some other ethical basis for stopping this, I’d say it’s a good idea.
It's explicitly permitted:
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
For what purpose?
And you, be you fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

It's certainly easier to get a genetically compatible organ from a domestic pig rather than a random, barely compatible organ from a human donor. Who is going to value his kidney more, a human or a pig?
Certainly not the first one, the second one, or even in the first five years.
BUT, in my lifetime, and probably in yours, we have gone from cosmetic surgery being only available to the extremely wealthy to a point where the average man or woman is able to finance it on a credit card. Breast implants and nose jobs are available to the average working woman today.
Not that long ago, laser vision correction was the exclusive province of the very wealthy. Today I can put it on a credit card, and have it scheduled for next week.
15 years ago, my best friend had a liver transplant. He had a good job and an upper middle class income up until about 2 years before the surgery. At the time of the surgery he had almost no money, no job, and no prospects for the future. He still got the transplant.
The reality is that the desperate wealthy are the experimental subjects for the rest of us. The very first operations are usually much less successful than the later ones, which ARE available to the common man and woman.
