    I’m really looking forward to the technology to print entire organs for transplant. It could eliminate long waitlists for organ transplants as well as the risk of rejection if the recipients stem cells were used. We’re not there yet, but we’re slowly making progress.

    I wonder how close we are to printing something like a functioning kidney. 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
