Edit: Surprised at all the vegans in this thread. I didn’t think there were so many of you. I’m glad you care so much about animal rights, that you’re willing to forego eating them and using products made from them. If you’re not vegan and have moral objections for this, maybe you should look at yourself first and all the animal abuse you sanction by eating animals and using animal products. Did you know dairy cows have to be pregnant to produce milk? They’re artificially inseminated throughout most of their lives. I hope everyone complaining about this also complains about ice cream and cheese. Or else they would be hypocrites who just want to blame others but never look at themselves.
Maybe I don’t have to stop drinking after all…
A truly pragmatic take away
Yeah, I’m wondering if I can pre-order
Man, I have ALWAYS wished outloud “I wish we humans has spare parts, so I can replace my always congested nose, my fucked up knee and shoulder”. My dream is finally coming true???
Those are sadly not organs.
Damn.
Well, it’s a start. I wouldn’t mind a new knee myself.
Damn!
The future looks bright.
Hopefully in my life time. Lol
Some Scottish scientist has been working with 3D printing organs. I haven’t heard anything about it in a few years though. This is definitely cheaper, as he has to work with your specific stem cells and culture them to use as “ink”
Humans truly are the monsters in this story.

Taking context from your other comments: no I don’t eat animal products.
WITH NO ETHICAL QUESTION AT ALL
How does it change anything in regards to ethics? It’s still shoving animal parts inside your body, but instead of using the mouth, we cut a hole in our stomach, and use that.
If it was ethical before, it still is. If it wasn’t ethical before, it still isn’t.
NO STRONG FEELINGS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
So people kill animals for fun, but when someone suggests using animals to save lives it’s evil?
Fix things in logical order and hopefully by then we’ll have developed other solutions that do not depend on animals. But don’t fight against progress when there are so many horrible and useless things that are allowed at the same time, pick your fights efficiently.
People just want to be heard.
I feel like contrarians exist because they feel more powerful going against the grain then going along with it.
Fuck it. Both good.
Farming pigs in ultra tiny spaces with horrible conditions where some of them die before getting brutally slaughtered to have cheap meat which is not necessary for human nutrition anymore, just tasty - totally fine
Farming pigs and treating them very well so that they grow healthy organs for terminally sick humans to then kill them in a controlled and anesthesized setting - how dare you
I’d still prefer growing headless human clones for parts, but this is good enough.

Could you imagine if we extended the life span of every person on earth by 30 years? We would be so fucked population wise. Plus we already have issues supporting our elderly population, what happens a couple decades later, when the average age of the retired is 95? Capitalism would need to be entirely restructured… to the point where it is no longer Capitalism.
No we wouldn’t. The earth isn’t overpopulated with humans.
We just choose to be inefficient with our resources so as few people as possible can live as lavish a life as possible.
And you think extending people’s lives will change that, or somehow make that equation better? If anything it would just be used to literally put people back into indentured servitude just to stay alive.
It’s interesting that we go to all the trouble of farming human organs in animals specifically because we’re okay killing animals. Surely it would work way better to farm human organs in human embryos. But we go about it sideways because that’s how much we don’t give a shit about animals.
Weird take, it’s like you’re conflating acceptable losses and apathy.
Scientists would use human embryos, if given the ability to. Unfortunately there are people who believe that life happens the moment a man injects his baby batter into a woman’s love tunnel.
These are why people kill animals for this, not because they “don’t give a shit about animals”.
You want to create new human life to grow organs in it and then kill the unborn child. To save animals.
Demonic. Absolutely demonic.

Great news but an absolute braindead take from most commenters here…
