People should donate their organs for people who are suffering from deficiency of organ . In my opinion

[@palmereldritch_6669]

A problem with this is that cadaveric organs aren't that easy to come by. The donor must be deemed 'brain dead' but the physical body is on life support. Otherwise, the organs go too long without oxygen and become too damaged for transplant. Live transplants are possible, but donating a kidney isn't all that easy to come by too, especially because living donors can't legally be compensated for their donation.

Engineering organs to order will be a MASSIVE leap forward for mankind. Honestly, I'm not sure why we don't have a space race regarding this field, just as we should be doing with going carbon neutral.

I can imagine we will need to engineer immune systems as well..? Thanks for your speech! Very exciting and promising avenues of study 😎

Not much progress compared to the Wall Street journal report on him five years ago.

Food is killing us

Wouldn’t it work better to use our own DNA to clone our own organs for replacement?
