Ryusei the Morning Star Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 http://circa.com/whoa/could-westworld-ever-be-a-reality-this-doctor-is-already-3d-printing-tissues-and-organs In HBO's TV show 'Westworld,' humanoid robots are 3D printed through means not totally explained by the show. While that may sound unrealistic, the technology to print human body parts already exists and may be a standard in the years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCR_CAT Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Sure. 3D printers can't make anything ala a Startrek replicator, although upon doing some research you were closer to the truth then I thoughtsource:https://all3dp.com/3d-printing-myths-dispelled/ Less limitations than I expected; I was skeptical because of the complex nature of organs and how difficult it would be to artificially "fabricate" an organ with a machine without killing it in the process. The idea of accelerated reproduction is possible, but also dangerous because that's part of what cancer is. I'm still skeptical, but it looks like there's some basis to it. By the looks of things, it's still a good ways off from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
