3d printing body parts

[EnDash]

apperently, people are looking into what materials can be used in 3d printing. and they say that bone cells and skin cells should be possible in a couple years to a decade.

first thing i will order is adamentium bones with claw extracting mechanics. wolverine FTW

That is very cool, i have been researching a few new technologies lately and last week i tried to dig as much as i could about 3D printing and i gotta say it is one of the things that excite me the most along with plasma energy and its potential.

Ah. Finally they use this new piece of technology the right way instead of printing guns.

Interesting...

The thing is...as it happens with any new technology that can potentially improve our lives and societies in general; there is also the other side of the coin, those technologies can (and will be) used to do things that could do more harm than good.

I am neither pro-guns or against it, i prefer to culture my body and mind actually.That being said, it is painfully obvious what would happen if even kids could print things like weapons right from their bedrooms.There have been enough shootings WITHOUT this technology being common, imagine the problems we are going to get in a few years.

Not only that but i can see politicians ´´making´´ careers out of this type of thing, trying to create laws against it, debating and manipulating us (like they always do). But i still prefer to see the bright side of thing and hope to see these matters handled in the best possible way in the future.

i wonder if like in a hundred years will you be able to 3d print an entire human being. thats a scary thought...

I've known about this for a while. Another great stride in Medical sciences. Now all we need is Catholicism to drop the notion that stem cells can't be used from an aborted fetus and we're set.
