In an age where new medical technologies are in such high demand, wouldn't a 3D bioprinter be useful? In this talk, Dr. Sam Wadsworth explains he sees a future full of bioprinted human airways and organs.
Sam is a scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur. He completed his Ph.D. in respiratory cell biology in the UK before relocating to Vancouver in 2007 to work as an academic researcher at St. Paul’s Hospital. In 2013, Sam co-founded a biotechnology company that uses a unique bioprinting technology that has the potential to revolutionise how we treat disease and the ageing process. He sees a future where human tissues can be provided on demand, where donor organs are built, not harvested, and where drugs are tested on bioprinted artificial tissues, not animals.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

As it should not sure humans are responsible enough for these new abilities just yet..

That could also solve other problems humanity is going through, right now, such as livestock environment impacts. Think about that: to make a peace of meat from stem cells it's require far less natural resources than raising an animal for months (or even years), to obtain the same amount of meat, and will also produce far less polluition (no Excrements, or methane). You also spare millions of animals from being slaughtered. My point is: If you can print complex organs identical to natural one, you can print chunks of meat from any animal, identical too. Even space exploration can benefit from that, once you can't raise Beef, or Pigs in a spacecraft, and if an astronalt needs a transplant (and it's too far away from Earth) spare organs will be available.

I do agree but we also need to be careful about many of these animals going extinct after farmers figure out they can no longer turn a profit they will ship all there cows and chickens ect to be processed for meat and bam %99 of all livestock are almost extinct within a matter of years.

What’s the difference between 3D bioprinting nanofibre-embedded scaffolds and 3D bioprinting macro-/micro-/nano-porous scaffolds I’m trying to choose my project title but I’m confused about these 2 need help please

Mr. Wadsworth, in the near future, without a W.W.3 ruining it, how soon will Bio-printed Human Organs become legally regulated and introduced to market? I am very interested, especially since I'm thinking about investing.
