According to this article published in the website FromTheGrapevine, it might actually become possible to 3D print human organs in the future. Experiments revolve around injecting human genes into tobacco plants, which seem to result in compatible human tissue of various kinds. The idea seems to revolve around studies to use these tissues to 3D print human organs next, which would make transplant availability greatly improve.

Good? Great? Scary?
This would be game changing technology for many. Right now people have to "compete" for a chance at a life saving organ donation to save thier life. It cold also help to mitigate health problems due to chronic conditions or damaged organs.
If this technology comes to fruitation it could save many lives and reduce a lot of suffering around the world. I have at least one family member a 3D print organ would help.

It is a bit scary. People will be like half human half robots. But if you need an organ it might be good news then.
