Not sure if the Timeline already has an entry for this, or if there's already a thread on the forum discussing this topic, but I think this will be highly innovative game-changer in the medical/cosmetic field. Just imagine how life would be like if this procedure was the norm in future hospitals.
Also, what year/decade do you guys think this will become common?

Oh no creepy slow voice guy again!!! arghhh!
Keep your attention at 0:26 - you can see muscles flexing in nourishing fluid, 3:12 - heart valve.
Right now we're approaching bio-printed heart for mouse, I can't find link but they are very close.
Hard to tell if it's going to be common, as it's possible that we'll just grow organs using stem cells instead of printing them. It might be lot easier, safer and more precise.

Hehe, for a man that talks about the future, he sure looks like he's from the 1980s! Still, bioprinting just seems miraculous, it still amazes me to see some of the stuff that's coming, but when will it become commonplace? Also, not sure I like the idea of cosmetic bioprinting, I can imagine teenagers all looking like their favourite pop star *shudder*...
All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.

...and you can guarantee that people will try it. I'm with Craven though. Jury's still out for me on whether this will be common or not. I can see it sticking around for sure. Probably as an alternative option to stem cell organs. The technology is really impressive though, and I imagine the early improvements we're going to see will be increases in speed. If they can keep the quality up, rapid creation of organs will be a huge advancement.
