I was thinking about rapid prototyping and storyboarding for a film. You could print a 3D storyboard for visualization. I'm not sure if anybody is doing this, with everything in a computer today. You can build a 3D skull and print it, so I guess it could be used for costumes and building strange creatures born in a printer. I was looking at some applications last weekend.

Modern medical science is truly amazing! I'm with ya on your last sentence, lol! ;-) It will be interesting to see this develop–I wonder if they will have more or less of a problem with rejection of these type of transplants.

He had both his kidneys removed when he was 17 and rejected two seperate transplants. Dialysis works for years, but it will not last forever. He was on dialysis for 16 years. Just to scare everyone, they think he got the original kidney infection from an untreated strep throat infection that spread when he was 14. Ever since hearing this, I never, ever take having a sore throat lightly. I had a cousin who died from going in to potassium shock.
