There is a machine that will print organic material straight on to your organs. It has a flexible arm that can be used to print organic and biological material with living cells in it. They’d be used to help heal injured or diseased parts in your body. They say it’s small and flexible enough that they probably won’t need to cut you open. It’ll just go through your mouth or the other end. It’ll be able to print, make incisions, and spray the area clean. They’ve tested it on a pig’s kidney, but not humans yet. That’ll take a few years.
I mean, it sounds kind of creepy at first, but after thinking about it, it’s more or less an advanced version of a colonoscopy. Everyone loves those, right? Actually, a colonoscopy saved a friend’s life recently. Make sure you get checked.
It was just last year that a woman got a new ear that was bio-printed out of her own cells.
