I could see this technology really taking off with the way cloning is going. Pretty soon, a transplant will just be them cloning one of your existing organs and putting it in you. Anti-rejection drugs will be a thing of the past, which is great.

Yea, it's incredible stuff. Hopefully over the next decade or so this technology can be developed further and rolled out to save lives worldwide.

Just think, they might figure out immortality eventually, and in a few short years the world will be covered asshole to elbow in people. Something to look forward to ain't it,lol.
