    Default 3D Bioprinting

    Quote Col. Quaritch : Son, I take care of my own. You get me what I need, I make sure that when you rotate home, you get your legs back, your real legs.

    (Quote from the AVATAR movie)
    Perhaps not so far in the future an entire human body may be 3d-printed along with required machinery to facilitate the move of the spirit into the new body.

    This suddenly occurred to me at the end of my last night's sleep.

    The AVATAR movie is certainly promoting the concept of the spirit moving into another body via some machiney.

    While Musk and Gates are more on the idea of transhumanism - a body that never ages or dies, the idea of 3D bioprinting may lead even deeper into the rabbit hole.

    Any old granny may with paying a few thousand bucks (or whatever currency there may be) just buy a new body - just like purchasing a new suit.
    Or someone with enough funds may just clone a body of a president and then do some mischief with it.

    This new body may be "enhanced" with being more robust and lesser sense of pain.
    We may not be so really far from that:
