    Seriously... vat grown spare organs with damn near complete genetic match. Sound like a bad Sci-fi flick and we all know that it will only go to the rich first (so is the way the world works)

The US (& other) governments' short-sighted, dim-witted refusal to deal with biotechnological eventualities is moronic.
