Description

Three-dimensional organs are already being printed in "3D labs" in the United States, using a biocompatible gel and cells grown and then assembled artificially. This removes any risk of rejection and gives these organs a virtually infinite lifespan. But what percentage of the human body can we reproduce, transplant or replace today? And what percentage can actually be replaced without risking killing the body?
