3-D Printing Case Study
3-D printing
A. Summary
3-D printer could create human organs is a part of a newscast from the American news show RT. The newscast is from 19th of February 2013.
In the video the host tells about the new 3-D printing technology and how it can change the world. The idea is that a 3-D printer made by researchers from the University of Edinburgh can create a new knee, body tissue, heart or any other body parts.
The RT correspondent Marina Portnaya tells that experts are using 3-D technology to print experimental heart valves, knee cartilages etc. They do this by using ink made by living cells to build up tissue structure. This is called bioprinting.
The host thinks that 3-D printing technology is a pathway to cloning humans. She uses Dolly the sheep, which was the first mammal to be cloned as an example. She also arguments with a project called Stranger Visions. The project uses DNA and genetic codes to create portraits based on what the person would look like.
On the contrary to the cloning perspective Marina Portnaya does not think that 3-D printing is a pathway to cloning human beings. She thinks that it is a pathway to building a human or replicating a human. Portnaya thinks that this will be reality, just like surveillance and drones became reality.

The 3-D printing technology has developed much over the years. At …show more content…
It seems that the pathway to cloning a human being is depending on the laws. Principally we can clone people right now without 3-D printing. It takes a long time but it can happen. An example of a successful cloning is Dolly the sheep. The only thing that stops people from cloning human beings right now is the law. Stuart Grover said, “The law can’t keep up with it (red. 3-D printing).” To prevent a pathway to cloning a human being there needs to be an update of laws, when the 3-D printing technology of human organs is
