We won't need donors soon because we can clone organs. True story.
We just need to convince the massive hordes of religious dumbfucks who think its going to make jesus cry that technology is ok.
It is indeed true this was in the news the other day
Got a problem with your liver? Dont worry, well grow you a new one
eventually. That was the message researchers from Wake Forest Universitys Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) gave to their audience at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) annual Liver Meeting over the weekend. The Wake Forest team had successfully created part of a liver using human cells. Sections of the organ were only 1-1.5 cm in thickness (around half an inch) but even this success was momentous. This is the first time that human cells have been used to grow a liver in a lab.
