While discussion of human cloning is an ongoing debate‚ the idea of cloning organs is sought after. There is new technology that is trying to do this by printing out organs. Essentially‚ by using a 3D printer‚ organs can be created using a patient’s own cells. So far‚ it is easier to print out certain types of cells‚ such as skin cells. More complicated organs‚ such as kidneys and livers are harder to replicate because their structure has a more diverse‚ complicated plethora of cells. It is also
