217961, 3D printed soft artificial heart that works like a real one

Technology is incredible. I would have never thought about using 3D printers to print replacement organs. It makes sense, though. You could adjust the model to whatever size the person needs and you could choose a material that has less chance of being rejected by the body. I wouldn't be surprised if organ donations become a thing of the past once this takes off.
