Printing Organs and Tissues

There is new technology that allows scientists to print tissues such as skin and veins.  Their hope for the future is to be able to actually support full organs.  There is a precedent for this where a bladder was printed using the recipient's tissues, and it has successfully lived for about 10 years so far.

 This article covers the benefits and different technology being used in experimentation of this new concept.
