Now they can print vital organs. And eventually they'll be able to print an entire person.

I think they should start with Dr. Tolou Shokuhfar . . . you know, just to honor her for being so hard working and brilliant and smokin' hot. Cool

I'm still trying to figure out just how this miraculous 3D printing works.

I mean, I get that solid objects can be replicated meticulous, one layer at a time. And I even understand that metabolic objects can be replicated using powdered titanium!

But how the hell do they 3D print organic tissue to create organs, for God's sake! Shocked
