Am I the only one this creeps out?
Yes, you are...
"Am I the only one this creeps out?"
I guess we all view things like this through our own filter.
I've got a close friend who was just diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. It's untreatable and fatal. At the end you suffocate. Normal life expectancy after diagnosis is 5-6 years though he may have a bit longer because they caught his very early. Ten years at the most is probably all he's got. He'll need replacement lungs.
I view advances like this, not as "creepy" though I see your point, but as potentially terrific news for my friend and many millions of others.
In a few years, I imagine they'll be able to print out the whole chicken. After a few days the cells will settle down and it'll jump off the output tray and strut across the room, pecking the floor, looking for seed. Meet Frankenchicken. Or, an easier task, print out a juicy, perfectly roasted rare prime rib. The potential applications are endless. It shouldn't creep you out at all, but instead make you giggle -- in a demented, insane asylum sort of way. ;-)
