Bio-printing is still in its early phase and not yet matured, but hopefully within the next few decades scientists will have progressed far enough to create fully functional, living human organs such as hearts or livers, and develop methods to transport them for transplant. This technology does indeed have a bright future, and could lead to longer, healthier lives for all the people in need of organs or skin grafts. This technology is nearly guaranteed to lead in global markets once it has been perfected and FDA approved. Millions of people are in need of organ transplants, skin grafts, or would simply lead a better life with healthier organs, and once this technology is available, they would all jump at the opportunity. Also, since it is likely that only a few companies would be selling products of bio-printing (due to patents and such), they would be dominating sales. Overall, with scientists diligently working to make this technology usable by humans, we will one day see “a society with low drug costs and no organ transplant list, all because of bio-printing”.
