[extropy-chat] Organ printing

[Brett Paatsch]

Not bad Dirk.

Thanks. 

A science paper would have been more impressive but you might not have access and your source, a "science editor" and story gives me some "in my face facts" to work with if I want to track them down. And I do now. I've got some reading time again. 

I can't be an expert on everything thats happening in real time so I like to know who knows and who just passes on rubbish that they hear without processing it.

        You might think I'm pick on you. Well you composed the subject
        header "Organ Printing", you advertised and I came to see, besides
        you are pretty smart, you just might be able to do something with 
        a good question besides wet yourself.



      I think 'organ regeneration' sounds far more feasible and nearterm.

      Dirk

    Why do you? 

     

    Else who cares what sounds more feasible and near term to you? 

    Are you analysing by reference to some relevant knowledge base 

    that you can demonstrate or just guessing? 


  There's a vast amount of work being done on organ regeneration.
  Just do a google search 



  Or if you want 'in your face' progress try

  "The experimental animal is unique among mammals in its ability to regrow its heart, toes, joints and tail. SCIENTISTS have created a "miracle mouse" that can regenerate amputated limbs or badly damaged organs, making it able to recover from injuries that would kill or permanently disable normal animals.  

       
  The researchers have also found that when cells from the test mouse are injected into ordinary mice, they too acquire the ability to regenerate."
