Technology that heals

It should be easier to think of useful applications for a "bio-ink" printer than a paper folder. Organs on demand?

Also from Longevity Meme comes this AP article that well sums up what the anti-science Bush administrations actions have directly led our country to: losing the edge on stem cell research. Stateside progress on therapeutic stem cell research is virtually frozen in time while countries like Korea, China, England, and Israel are taking the lead. University researchers fear that even more people will leave here for those countries. Also mentioned in the article is the huge 2 million sq ft Biopolis campus in Singapore, designed to be a hub for all sorts of biomedical research. I've got to big up the tiny city-state of Singapore for doing so much for biomedical research considering its size.
