Organ printer

A 3D printer that can potentially create whole organs one cell at a time.

I'm not too keen on this. If you can't dig it up, stitch it together, and throw a bolt of lightning through it, I don't trust it.

  1. Bolt of lightning? Don't know. I can't say I go for these electric organs, myself. Give me a good old-fashioned installation with a hump-backed fellow named Igor pumping the bellows, and a demented man of science belting out the Buxtehude (because Bach's been done before), any day.

  2. What's to stop me from PhotoShopping a particular organ?

    I hope I have enough cartridges.

    $299 EACH?!?!?

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
