Редактирование: Organ printing

'''Organ printing''' is an emerging technology in the medical field.

==About==

Organ printing is a type of [[3D printing]] used to produce what are referred to as the "Scaffolding" of a new organ. These printed organs are then seeded with cells. This is the fundamental breakthrough with organ printing, the cells used are a direct match to that of the person receiving the organ, meaning less chance, if any, of the organ being rejected as may be the case with traditional organ transplantation.

==Transhumanist Elements==

Organ printing could be a major factor in regards to [[longevity]] whereby a failing or faulty organ can be replaced with a new one. This technology may help to increase the lives of many people who need new organs. It will also have a positive impact in regards to the black market organ trade, perhaps making it obsolete.
