In beginning to the science revolution, many people did not agree with new ideas that went against their own. It was considered automatically wrong if it did not align with what the churches beliefs. Most factual statements in the earlier times, had to do with church, but people like Charles Darwin, tested the boundaries between church and state. Even though it was not accepted and thought to be diabolical thoughts at the time, “By the end of the twentieth century, Darwin’s theory of evolution had been buttressed by so much confirming evidence that scientists accepted it as fact,” wrote Brown. Darwin, helped the Demise of the church ruling over fact. A similar event is happening now; should 3D printing living body parts be allowed for use? Could the new era of science arrived and it will take some time getting used to? Or was this just an hyperbole of a scientific breakthrough. With this new technology, many lives can be saved. “The breakthrough, published in Nature Biotechnology, raises the hope of using living tissues to repair the body,” said Gallagher, BBC news.
The process has developed quicker than people had imagined. In the BBC article, the quoted, “The prospect of printing human tissues and organs for implantation has been a real one for some time, but I confess I did not expect to see such rapid progress, and expected them to be fruitless a couple of times..” The author quoted this because it tells how progress went faster than expected, and right now, its almost fully a reality. The author also quoted, “”They have managed to create what appears to be the goose that really does lay golden eggs!”, this is showing that what they have created, is almost perfect, and will be a marvelous thing down the road.
In this article written by James Gallagher, he exposes the wonders of 3D printing. This article reminds me of the episodic TV show Limitless. In the show, there is a pill that when you take it, it makes your IQ rise to the maximum. But both the pill, and the 3D printed body parts are scientific breakthroughs, that can save many lives. The only main difference in the show and reality, is that reality is more methodical in the approach of reasonable.
