With the lines of science fiction and reality becoming even more blurred, things such as 3D printing of human organs constantly perks our ears up. Dr. Anthony Atala discusses his research into the actual printing of the human organs using 3D printing technology. Take a look at his talk during this past year TED Talks here.
