Pretty cool stuff, this should save/extend quite a few lives.

We need a new kind of medical worker- a technician that can perform the cell farming/crafting for a specific replacement organ. They'd probably be on par with a pharmacist in terms of education and pay.

Sadly, our socialized medical regime won't be too keen on bringing that kind of service to the table.

The only regenerative therapies that are working as of now require skilled labor for individual patients- which is exactly what the left is trying to do away with.

Strange as this may sound, medical break throughs will continue to move right along with Moore's Law governing computing speed. So much of medicine is now computer driven.
