I think there might be a time when we have plastic organs that are better than the ones we're born with. Like, plastic skin, cartilage, and bones could come first, and eventually, we might have plastic hearts, stomachs, kidneys, and all that.

Sure, plastic and tech can break, but they don't get sick. If older people have printed hearts, does that mean they won't have to worry about heart disease? How would this change the aging process?

I'm just curious about when we can actually expect to have lab-grown organs like these. Do you think it will happen soon?
