Print some skin off your ink-jet !
Seems like some scientists actually found a way to PRINT HUMAN SKIN, well, that's creepy.

It also says that bone and cartilage printing might soon follow. I totally agree that it could be useful on patients who have suffered burns and disfigurements, and totally a good thing coz patients no longer have to 'lose' a piece of skin from their thighs or butts. Medical discoveries are good stuff. They helped many people around the world. Thank Goodness, today's medical knowlegde is so advanced that we no longer die from a simple cold. Introducing modern technology into the medical world has also brought many people a new hope of life, curing many diseases, a new limb or even the ability to hear or see again.
On the other hand, what is the world coming to ? Do I hear a YEAH ! for the 'plastic surgery world'. Wont be long before some rich and famous will go for a total change of skin colour. ( coz i heard you can print skin in alien green ! ). Or different skin to match a certain tone of make-up ?
Maybe, just maybe, one day, we can walk into the supermarket and buy SKIN ! ( like paper... ) Maybe we can chose, glossy, smooth, sun-taned ! yeah !
Dont get me wrong I am glad to be living in this century.. but printing skin is a little too creepy for me now.
