Science at its best. Maybe Kidneys can be grown for transplantation.

Hi everyone,

I saw this talk recently on Ted (I'm addicted to this site). Doctors in the USA have found a miraculous way of printing transplants in humans. I haven't found any research to say this could be introduced into Europe. (if I do I will share)

This wouldn't even have been thought about when I was having my transplants 20 years ago, but it's a real pleasure to see how doctors; pharmaceutical companies an science has allowed us to have a chance of living healthy. I'll continue to advocate such a positive change.

Mungo, I was in awe when I watched this on the flight to Germany the other week. The guy next to me thought I was a crazy person.
