Abby Normaal...?

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

1. Get ultra-high-DPI inkjet printer.
2. Modify colour inkjet cartridges to work with organic materials.

3. Grow extracellular matrix component soups (EMCS).
4. Load ECMSs and water-soluble support substrate into cartridge.
5. Get hi-res scans of typical organ scaffolds.
6. Print a copy of that organ scaffold !
7. Rinse out support material.

8. Harvest target patient stem cell
9. Grow stem cell soup (SCS).
10. Set in nutrientrich stem cell soup and wait for it to become a functional organ.

11. PROFIT !!! And also, potentially endless body youth.

:)

1 and 2 have been done, but probably not at a high enough resolution (but that can be improved on).
3 through 7 could be expensive at first, but can you say mass production and economies of scale ? Step 5 might be a bit tricky.
8 through 10 is what those guys in the OP's article are doing.
Step 11 is what we want, right ?

Meh... I bet if the research were turned towards bigger breasts or reducing baldness instead of actually saving lives, it would have all the funding in the world. That's what sucks about the medical industry. They'll have men giving birth to ass babies (future forum trolls) but oh look, paralyzed from the neck down for life? Sorry, can't help that.

Actually, many billions have been thrown at spinal cord injuries.
It's just an extremely difficult problem to solve. Biology is... resistant to your normal physics-based research methods. There is no standard 'human.' There is no standard model which accurately represents a sufficiently large percentage of the population, either. Living biology has a very rude habit of being individual, and it can't be forced into a nice neat boax - It's always breaking out and doing weird ****.

Including, sometines, helpfully weird ****, like what stem cells do.

Stretch them out and tie them together, problem solved Big smile

That's what we did in my highschool biology class with the fetal pig when we accidentally severed it's intestine... never got caught either Pirate
