Given the chance, which body part would you you grow and why?
This interesting challenge came from an article on the Fairfax website Scientists grow an ear using 3D printing.
What would I use this wonderful technology for? Well, that would depend on what was ailing me most at the time.
Certainly if I had this opportunity at the moment I'd have a new pair of knees because I've totally worn out my own ones.
Clearly this technology using 3D printing could be a boon for replacing extremities like ears, fingers, toes, noses. It could help plastic surgeons to precisely replicate the shape and size of the original damaged or severed part and restore a level of dignity to afflicted people.
