Imagine the possiblities the future holds! What if we could use a 3D printer to build collagen (or similar) base strucutre, then simply deposite the raw cells onto it and expect it to grow into a new organ? Organ donors would be obsolete!
Let incorporate all sort of exotic technologies that's emerging out of material science as well!
Ever better and better cancer treatment combined with ever better and better lab grown organs could make for an interesting (and expensive!) future.
