Organs are almost human?

    Once again we visit the realm of Science Fiction with almost human. I continue to visit this futuristic society because many of the technological discoveries of 30 years ago have come true in the present day. Also because a network show like this is rare, has a pretty large budget and is in danger of not being renewed. So I decided I should harvest all the information I could. Before I discussed the ability of printers to meet each humans specifications for medicine and today we dealt with the advent of bio-printers their inherit errors in dealing with printing clones and the ancillary danger to humans. The antagonist was using an iterative process that we champion 3d printers to solve problems but at the physical expense of others. So while his method of problem solving travels right down the highway Makers are encouraged to set their navigation to. We find out with out that the familiar trope of power usually corrupts. As engineers, makers and scientists we figure that the laws put in place are enough to keep rogue elements that would not use this technology far out of our  sight and influence of the industry.

   Which brings us to the current items that are  being discussed. The Novogen MMX Bioprinter prints fully human architecturally correct 3-D tissue in a variety of different formats. I must admit that seeing the correlation of what happened on the small screen I want to get these facts very accurate. Where does plastic surgery end and 3d printing begin. Is it because it is for cosmetic purposes or can it be functional to take over for machines that do the same thing. Right now the tissue being printed is being sent out to test toxicity of potential treatments. Organovo's 5 and 10 year plans include using ones own cells to patch failing organs. So how far is Science fiction from science fact? I definitely advocate keeping shows like Almost Human around to see.
