"If I Only Had a Heart" Trimester 2

"If I Only Had a Heart"  Trimester 2




        When a person is sick and needs a new organ, it can take a long time to get one.  People have to be put on a special transplant list and may have to wait months or even years before they receive a new organ.  However, waiting for someone else to donate their organ could soon be a thing of the past.  Scientists are experimenting with bioprinters, printers that use human cells and tissue instead of ink, to print 3-D printed organs!  While this may seem like a great idea, some people are afraid of what could happen if 3-D printed organs become a reality.

         Pete Basiliere, research director at Gartner says: "These initiatives are well-intentioned, but raise a number of questions that remain unanswered. What happens when complex 'enhanced' organs involving nonhuman cells are made? Who will control the ability to produce them? Who will ensure the quality of the resulting organs?"

I think online school is a good idea but also a bad idea. I think it's a good idea because if you don't have a lot of money you can save money. It is also a good idea because if you like to be independent you should try it. I think it is also a bad idea because you don't see your friends. Lastly if you like to work with a partner it won't work as well. I would not want to use online school because i like to work with my peers.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because people could need an organ really fast so they need to get an organ as fast as they can. Also every hospital can have a bio-printer so they can make the organ at the hospital instead of waiting a really long time. If an animal or a human needs an organ they can make it there at the hospital fast. So if they can make a bio-printer they will be able to get organs a lot faster. People will be able to be buried without having to donate. If they can make a 3-D Bio-Printer it could change the lives of many more people.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because what if the organ fails? Also I don't like that they're testing it on animals! What if the printer can’t make a life size organ? Maybe the body rejects the organ as it gets put in what then? Finally what if the 3-D printer organs can only work on animals? I think the organ should only be used if it is an emergency.

AveryK I2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because people are waiting months even years to get a new organ. All this time could possibly make you very sick and you could die. Were as with a 3-D printer you could order it on the spot. Another reason I think 3-D printers are a good idea is that in the video it said that they tested a kidney on a animal and it worked! Also, the idea of printing 3-D organs could save many people's lives because if you donate one of your organs to someone you could end up getting very sick or even dying since you don’t have organ. With 3-D printed organs that could never happen.This is one of the new ideas scientists have come up with.

CylkoffT I2 said...

I think 3-D printed organs are a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because they could help animals that are in need. Also I think its a good idea because it could help get people off the list that need organs. Another reason is it could prevent the organs from getting germs on them when they are flying across the county. Third, if there is an emergency and a hospital needs an organ they can just print one. Lastly, it would be a lot easier and quicker to print one than to have to wait for one. In conclusion i think 3-D printed organs can revolutionize the world.

i think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because it could fail while in your body then they would have to take more of your tissue. Also it's a nasty concept i mean yeah it could save your life and yes i know that is a very good thing but if it fails they have to keep taking more of your tissue or skin. this is so they can make new body parts. also what if the printers break down or there is a power outage then they couldn’t finish what they were doing and that would be bad if you needed the body part or organ right away or within the same day. another reason is that what if the computers controlling the printer break or they have a bug and the body part gets deleted and they have to start all over again. 3-d printed organs could be good if they found a way to fix computer bugs or power outages.thank you for reading.

SweetEI2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because people with serious diseases won't have to wait for so long that a donor will die and they can finally get the organ or limb they need.Also like sometimes the body will reject it and then the patient still does not have that organ or limb and they have to wait for a long time again. another reason 3-D printed organs are good is because they are made from the person's cells so the body will accept the organ as apart of the body easily.the organ will also be printed on site so the organ won’t be so long to get there and it won't have to travel on a plane.in conclusion 3-D printed organs could really improve the human race.

MacharaM I2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because it could save so many lives. People wouldn’t have to struggle to get a organ. If I had a choice to get a 3D printed organ I would probably take my chances. It’s a risk to take, but it could save lives. After people are studing this subject I think there very confident.

AlyshaC I2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because they might have a mess up in the the making of the organ. I also don’t like animal tested products that may harm the animal. Also there can be toxic solutions or something in the cells or organ from the machine. And if you test the organ on an animal the animal body might react differently to the organ than the human body. Also if there is dead tissue there can be some serious problems. That is my thoughts of having 3-D printed organ transplant.

tylers I2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because it can help save a lot of people that need a organ transplant.Another reason is if you do need a transplant you no longer need to wait for a donor to die to get your organ.Another way it can be good is if the donor died far away you won’t have to wait for it to come. Another reason is the 3-D printed origins can change a lot of people's lives.My final reason is the organs do not have to be shipped or flown from far away.In conclusion 3-D printed organs can save many peoples lives.

NickR I2 said...

I think 3-D printed organs are a great idea. 3-D printed organs could be a great idea because it could save hundreds of lives. I think the organs could be very useful to stop things like lung cancer and heart disease. 3-D printed organs could help people with any kind of blood and the organs can not hurt someone. Another idea that people could do is teach people how the organ works. 3-D printed organs could also be bad because it could posibly break. in conclusion 3-D printed organs could change lifes.

camdensi2 said...


I think creating a 3d printed organs is a bad idea is because they may operate it wrong and it can be made out of the wrong stuff and not tissue.Also an other reason why 3d printing is a bad idea is it may not be safe someone may be allergic by the stuff they put inside the organ.A other thing is this could get out of hand and people may make other stuff that is not nessercerry to make.Something could go wrong and they may put the wrong person asleep and then they put the organ in the wrong person then the other person dies.Also replacing the organ can go wrong like they might have 2 parts insead of 2,3,4 etc.In conclusion this can leave to a tramatric argament

LiamJ2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because it could save lives. Regular organ donors could donate organs to patients, but can take months, to years to get it to them. They also could be used “on demand” doctors could order an organ and the patient would get it during the procedures. 3-D printed organs could save lives when organs cannot come in time for a patient. 3-D printed organs could be the new invention in the hospital. 3-D printed organs could save many lives.

bobby j j2 said...

l think 3d organs is a good idea because it would be good for peolpe that need it emedlitley. also it is a good idea because people don’t need to waste time going to over 100 doctors to see who has the right organ. People probably just need to go to 1 or 2 doctors to screen the liver and only need to wait 1 to 2 months to get your 3D printed organ. If you had to wait 3 to 6 months to get your implanted liver in will take a lot of time and if you really need it you might die. 3D printed organs will save many lives and will save doctors time to not have to see the same person 100 times.

22zackmj2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because it could make people look different. One reason I think 3-D printed objects are not a good idea because it could make people feel different than what they used to feel. Another reason I think 3-D printed objects are a bad idea because the cells that they take from other animals could make them die. Another reason I think 3-D printed objects are a bad idea because you could probably get another person's organ already. One more reason I don't think 3-D printed objects are a bad idea because I do not like animal testing. In conclusion I think 3-D printed objects are not a good idea.

NateBJ2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because it could help thousands of people each year. After a while it could save millions of people from dying. It could also help because if someone needed one fast they would be able to 3-D print the organ right away. They would also not have to wait for the organ to be delivered. The organs would also be less expensive rather than paying a lot for a handmade or donated one. 3-D printing is a good idea.

talonj2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because where would they get human tissue. And if they do get it from other humans would they have diseases that scientists may not see. Even if the people who are giving the human tissue to the doctors would the tissue effect the person. and also they may mix up all the pieces(blood, tissue, skin) will mess up the person who needs the organ. The other people may not like how the scientists are testing on animals, because the animals might have diseases and also it’s just cruel to kill innocent animals. In conclusion i think 3-D printing organs is a very bad idea.

DanielleLJ2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because it saves people the wait. Sometimes people have to wait months or even years to get the parts they need, this could change that. I also think printed organisms is good because people could get the specific one they need. They could get the correct blood-type for their organ, without the wait. Also the organs have been tested and proven they work. This shows how 3-D printed organs could help save lives.

ANNAZJ2 said...

I think creating 3-D think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because you could have one instead of waiting so long just to get one. They can help people get better quicker. I think with more time the organs could be so real and help all the people suffering get better without waiting a long time .But I also think printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because so many things can go wrong. Something could be different that that person has in their cells. also I do not like the idea of testing on the animals, that could kill the animals. I think the idea of 3-D printed organs could be a good idea with more work, but I mainly think that it is a bad idea because so many things could go wrong.

LaurenWJ2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because people wouldn’t have to wait anymore for organs. They could be delivered in a few hours. Plus they could make different body parts for people that needed that soon. They could also use it to help animals that needed organs, or even body parts! By using DNA samples people could make organs for any living organism that needed it! Doctors and surgeons would have a whole new way to get organs for people in need . As you can see 3-D printers could be a big milestone to our economy.

rebekkah ch said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because… doctors don’t have to what for a person to donate a organ that can take a year or a month to take. doctors don't need to what for a someone to give a organ plus the people how we're going to give a organ don't have to. the 3-D printer can make a organ that is good for that person. If you are in the army you can get a organ really quick so they can can fighting. They also get another chance to see their family again. if the doctors need a organ they can just call someone to give them a 3-D organ for someone

justinkJ2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. It is a good idea because people who need organs won't need to wait as long. The max wait time could be under 5 months. Also the hospital bill would be cheaper, because they won’t have to be in the hospital as long. Using 3-D printed organs could also be a bad thing. 3-D printed organs could be bad because the organs could not match well with the recipient. To conclude, 3-D printed organs have good sides and bad.

grantc j2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because… What if the person's body does not accept the 3d-printed cells. There is also a good chance that the company does not check the quality of the organ. Every person is different so if you print the same size of an organ it might not be a good fit for everyone. I also don't agree with testing on animals. It is not right to test on animals there are innocent. Animals also don't have the same cells as us so if a type of printed cell that is ok for animals it might not be ok for humans. There are some more reasons that organs are a bad idea.

cadens j2 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea. the reason for this is it could save millions of lives. also it would be quicker than waiting on the list for organs. They could also change how the world practices medicine. the can also use cells from other orgainisims. would be less expensive to transport. 3d printed organs have the potential to revolutionize world medicine.

SmithSI1 said...

I think that 3-D printed organs are a bad idea. I think that this is a bad idea because they might not be the correct type for the body exactly. This could affect the body if it was an organ that you really need, like a liver. You could also have some problems with the time to make one,because they probably do not have a stock of them because they need to work exactly right. This would also affect it if it was a major organ. Another thing that is bad is that they could not be made with not enough quality.If it isnt made with enough quality, the body might not accept it.

KitOI1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because many lives can be saved with these new organs. If people are making 3-D printed organs, they obviously are going to have to be smart and check quality of the organ. Also, some people wait months or years to get their new organs. With 3-D printed organs, they can come faster. Doctors might need to go to the black market and get organs, and that could be dangerous. Getting organs from scientists is more safer rather than getting one from the black market.

Payton VI1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because they could save many lives. Another reason is it seems reliable. It's reliable because good scientist discovered and tested it. Also, no one will get hurt trying to get the organs. No one will get hurt because they don't have to go to the black market or get in trouble for going to the black market. Also less suffering for the patient waiting for the organ because they get it fast.

MaraLI1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because they can help people more efficiently than before. The organs usually have to travel over a long or far distance, while the organ is traveling something could easily go wrong with the person waiting for the new organ. The 3D printed body parts can easily appear in no to little time at all. Another reason I think the 3D printing is a good idea because it could help the military! When the people are in battle and get hurt and they have a 3D printer they can just print out an organ and they'd be back and ready in no time. Many scientists say that organs are just the beginning of the 3D printing process! Soon there will be arms, legs, feet, and hands and maybe even whole humans.

kevinvi1 said...

it's a good idea. 3d printed organs are the solution to save billions of people including people that have lost body parts. people without organs can be saved by 3d printing. perhaps there's people with bad skin disease or burned skin it can be fixed. mabebe there's people with no bones that help them live. And making humans would be amazing and the next step. we could also make extinct animals no longer extinct.

jesseRI1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea because what happens when people have cancer in their organs and he has no one to transplant with. when people are sick and when one of their parents has already had surgery. scientist should create before they do surgery. they would have to make the 3d organ three days before surgery. could save people's life so they won't die. when they transplant into you how do they keep the organ working. how do they keep the heart beating.

ErinSI1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because it could save many lives. A lot of people all around the world could use a replacement in one or more organs that could save their lives. It is also a good idea because it can stop many people from using the blackmarket. It can make transplants quicker. Most people need to wait for a donation before they can have the transplant, and that could take a long time. There are a lot of good ideas about 3-D printed organs.

EmilyWI1 said...


I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because it will be able to get people their organs faster. Also they have more of a possibility of agreeing with the person who needed the implant. This is because the organ can be made of the person’s own cells. Plus, because printed organs can get to people faster more people have a chance of getting their organs. 3-D printed organs are also a good idea because once the technology develops more we could print animals to give to people who need food. Lastly I think that 3-D printed organs are good because people can now get organs without going through the black market.

serenity t i1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because i think is a bad idea because it can hurt someone by it can be put in the wrong place in a person and it can kill someone. Also it probably wasn't the right cell so it can kill them. Plus it can give you a heart attack. Plus you can be very very sick and you have to wait a long time to get an organ. Also you can probably have organ issues. Plus who controls making orgain . Plus what happens when animal cells are used will the body accept them.

craig r i1 said...

I think selling 3D organs is a good idea because it could save thousands of lives. People won’t have to do illegal things to get organs. You have to wait a long time to get a organ you could get a new one right away. People won’t die. Family’s will be happier. It could also be useful for other things like animals.

MollyEI1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because people will not have to wait for a donor to give you an organ. Instead of waiting on the transplant list waiting for weeks or months you could just transplant in a 3-D printed organ. If doctors and scientist figure this out for good transplanting will not be a problem anymore. They can help save many lives just as well as donors organs are. But maybe these would more safe because they are not going from one person's body to another. That's kind of weird!

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because there is a possibility of something going wrong with the organ while it is in your body. What if there were too many produced and no control over it. That would not be good having to many organs and not enough people. Or the other way around too many people and not enough organs. I do not know about other people but having an organ that has been printed from human cells and tissue is a very interesting and weird thing. But what if animal cells and tissue got into the printer then there would be an animal printed organ in your body. I probably have crazy theories that won’t happen. But what if they did?

GabimI1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because the organs might break since they are not made from human cells. The organs could also not function after a short period of time because they are not natural and there is no guarantee that they will work. Since they are 3-SD printed, they could have parts missing. If the organs have parts missing, they could get people sick. Because the organs will have to be shipped a long way, they could get overheated, frozen then thawed out, dirty and then infected, and get thrown all around the vehicle that is transporting them and break. Mice, bugs, squirrels, and other animals could get near them and take a bite out of the organs. If that happens, the organs will be infected, and cause disease and death. If any of these things happens, 3-D printed organs will have a reverse effect.

isabellagi1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea becauseI think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because if somebody was going to die because they needed at organ they could buy one and that would save there lives. And if somebody gave away there organs and they found out they needed one and then they could buy one. If somebody needed one or at operation they could buy one so somebody else did not have to give one away. If sombodys organs where not working write they could buy one to save there live. And instead of risking somebody elses life for at oragan they might die so u could buy one. They wont have to do it legaly they can make them with at printer they don't sell at stranges organ.

Alex R j1 said...

I think creating 3D organs is a bad idea. I think this because it is not as evolved for use. The creations of the organs is long. Also there is not enough to go around. Also the surgery is dangerous and illegal. One other reason is that people won’t know how many organs to produce. Also who will keep track of them?

ThomasNJ1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because they are a step forward in the evolution of mankind. With 3-D printed organs, people don’t have to give up one of their organs unless they somewhat want to. Also, 3-D printed organs can save millions of lives of humans hanging on their last breath. With one operation, a person can lead a great life with their organ that seems perfectly normal. With 3-D printing technology, mankind will take a next step into the future.

Emma j1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D pr organs are a bad idea because… the creations take to long. Also, it is dangerous because you would have to cut the person. Next, it would take a lot of stuff to make it. Then, you will have to keep track of all of it. Also,that would be hard. Lastly, waiting for someone to donate their organs could take a long time.

Lauren N J1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because you can get infections from it.
Another reason is because scientists are not sure if its safe.
Another reason is that the 3D printer is really made for plastic not body parts. I don't think they should test it on animals because animals react to doing things than human do. It's not safe because you are risking your life because it's not made for living things.
That's why i think its not safe for humans.

Tristen A J1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because...testing animals would mean to kill countless lives for no reason just to test an animal with origins it does not even need is terrible thing to do wasting a creatures life is pointless to the meaning of mankind if we are to continue with this results could be terrible we would rather would kill life of animals than help mankind by printing origins.

SaigeHJ1 said...

I think its a bad idea because it could not react to there body like the human organs work different. Also, I think its not a good idea because I don’t think its a good idea to take an animals organ away. It’s not fare to take a animals life away. Who knows if it going to work. Humans can get really sick from putting an animals body part in there body. Also how are u going to get the animal? What happens if it does not work? Last why do you want to hurt an animal to give them a body part we don’t do that for animals.

McKenzieMJ1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because I think people should feel that we tried our best to help them. Also the chance to help others live a better life is great, and as long as we are sure it is safe, then I would say go for it. However i disagree with animal testing because no matter how small, all living things deserve to live just like us humans do. No one would do testing on us humans that could be unsafe. But despite the animal testing the could be an advantage to our future.

haleighp said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because it can give you poising if they use plastic. Also they have to take tissue off of you and when they do that you can die. They are also testing it on animals and that can poising you.I also think it is a good idea because it is eser. And it might help for they don’t have to do it by there self. I also think you are resking you life because it might not work. I think it is a good and bad thing because it might and might not work.

Loganpj1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because people won’t do illegal things to get organs. Another is the person’s body will accept it. Also doctors can just print it and it is there and no long wait time. People have a better chance to survive because they get it quickly. They could 3D print animal organs to if they need a transplant. People who are asked to be an organ donor and don’t want to they don’t have to worry if there is 3D organ printing.

MakaylaKj1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because if people need a new organ they don't have to wait months or even years. Hospital could just print the organs out in just an hour or so. Another reason I think that printed organs are a good idea is you don’t have to use other people's organs they can have there own. The organs don’t have to be flown in from around the world. If someone needs an organ they don't need to use an animal's organ they can use a 3d printed organ with there blood cells. A Lot of people are not organ donors so if it takes to long to get one they may have to get one of the black market and the black market is illegal.

Jarodhj1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because they are using animals. They are taking the body parts of animals to test if their theory is true. Also they should try using something else to test other than animals. I don't support using animals because I have one myself and I would not want to see it lose its organs to use in a machine. I would rather donate an organ than get one from a 3d printer. Also what if the 3d printed organ was fake and they used an animal's organs for nothing.

Sophiamj1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because they are not sure if it would be safe in the human body. Scientist are using animals to test on the 3-D organs. I do not think it is good to test on animals because this can hurt them. Scientist are not even able to test the organs on humans yet. they do not have enough technology to make a real organ. That is why i think 3-D printing is a bad idea.

JeanaMJ1 said...

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because… one reason that is good about it is that it can save so many lives who are really desperate for an organ. Another reason is that when someone thats truly desperate for an organ they won´t need to go onto black market to get an organ that is an illegal law. I also think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because.. if one of the experiments when using on an animal goes completely wrong and the animal dies or something that can prove it might not be a good idea to test it or do the same surgery on a person because the same thing might happen and the person could die from the surgery. Another bad reason is that when the people that are doing the experiment or surgery on the animal they may hurt it while in progress. This is why i think 3-D printers are a good and bad idea to make organs.

I think 3D printing is a good idea because i can make cool things. I also think this is a good idea because I can learn how to make things in a different way. I think this is a cool way to make 3D printings. I think this is a good way to help other people in a different way. i think it is cool to repair someone with something more softer than to have to have metal tools in my body.I think people would have a better time with 3D printed organs. I think this is a cool way to have an organ repaired than to have to wait for somebody to deliver theirs to me.

i think 3d printed organs are a great idea. i think 3d printed organs are a good idea because it could save someone life if the couldnt find a donor and they needed a transplant.Another reason is that if you think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs good idea because if someone needs an organ immediately they will be able to have one a lot faster than if you got a real one. Another reason I think 3d organs are a good idea is that if you had to have an organ transplant and you didn't have a donor you could use a 3d printed one. Also for example if you had to choose from having a transplant from somebody you didn't know from across the world would you rather have the organ that has been shipped overseas or have one made. 3d printers are becoming very advanced. In conclusion I think 3d printed organs are a fantastic idea.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because...testing animals would mean to kill countless lives for no reason just to test an animal with origins it does not even need is terrible thing to do wasting a creatures life is pointless to the meaning of mankind if we are to continue with this results could be terrible we would rather would kill life of animals than help mankind by printing origins.

a good idea because it can save people. It will be cheaper because they don't fly.. It is not hard to make with a printer.. They work just like the real thing. It doesn't involve giving up body parts. It wont take a long time to get there. They wont have to wait for it to come in.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because, the organ might not fit and your body could also reject it. Secondly the tissue that the organ is made out of might be infected with a life threatening virus. Also people could make organs privately for money and waste the material.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because it will save people's lives. It can also help people avoid the black market. Since it takes so long to find another organ 3-D printing can have it done very fast. It could also let other people keep their organs. If it takes so long to get an organ that person could die while waiting for their organ. Also it could keep people from going crazy while waiting for their organ. We could have so many printed organs that as soon as a patient comes in they could have their organ in by the next day. 3-D printing can save people’s lives and the world.

:I think 3d printed objects are a bad idea i think this because .lot of flaws like if you body rejects it. Or if it's the wrong size and the doctors can't take the organ out. one other flaw is if you get uncomfortable with the organ and you can't take it out. One other mistake that could happen is the doctor could mess up the transplant. But if the transplant if between life or death then take the trends plant. also the surgery would be very expensive. plus why would you test harmless animals. and that's why i think that 3d printed organs will be a unsuccessful revolution

JackV said...

I think 3d printing organs is a good idea because some animals that need organs can get them. Another reason I think 3d printing is good is because you can get an organ easier than usual. The third reason I think 3d printing is a good idea is because if someone or something is in dire need for an organ they can get one fast. Another reason 3d printing is good is because hospitals need the organs. 3d printing can also help anyone or anything in need for a organ. The last reason I think 3d printed organs are good because they can save lots of people. 3d printing could be a big help to the world.

I think creating 3-D printed organs are a good idea. I think 3-D printed organs are a good idea because they can save many lives. we could print lungs for people who smoked and damaged theirs. It will give them a second chance. Also people that have a bad heart can have a transplant. many people could have a better life with 3-D printed organs. In conclusion millions of lives could be saved with 3-D printed organs.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because they are not sure if it would be safe in the human body. Scientist are using animals to test on the 3-D organs. I do not think it is good to test on animals because this can hurt them.
scientist are not even able to test the organs on humans yet. they do not have enough technology to make a real organ. That is why i think 3-D printing is a bad idea.

I think creating 3-D printing is a good idea. 3-D printing is a good idea because it can help people out and make their lives easier. It not only can make their lives easier but can save their lives. Also if someone needs a organ soon it can be ready in a couple hours. If a doctor wants to practice operating on an real organ they can practice on the 3-D one. Also if the real organ gets infected you can get a real one. 3-D organs can save people's lives.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea,because the organ that they make is bad for you because it does not belong in your body.

What happens if it fails you could die and there goes your life.

No one wants the fake organ in your body and it is a waste of time and money if no one wants it.

The body can not take them and i don't think it will work and people will be mad.

The organs are expensive and a lot of people would not be able to afford them.

It wouldn't be appealing to people because it is made out of plastic and animal parts.

It is new and really risky for people.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because the things that print out of the 3-D printer are breakable so if they are in people and it breaks it can hurt them. It also isn't safe for that kind of material to be inside a human's body. If any of that material gets inside of another part of the body that can also damage that part of the body. 3-D printers are capable of doing things but I don't think they are capable of doing this for people. If I needed a new organ I don't think i would be able to trust a 3-D printer. In my own opinion 3-D printers are not meant to make organs.

I think creating 3D printed organs is a good idea. I think 3D printed organs is a good idea because it is much faster to get. If somebody needs it fast it usually takes longer to get. By printing it they would no longer half to wait. Also they have to wait for it then they have to wait till it arrives. they could just print it in the hospital.it saves more peoples lives.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because
I think if we have the right technological advancements we need to perform this task it could be a huge breakthrough in success. One of my reasons are people don’t have the time to get a transplant because the bad organ can affect them in very little time. But if we have 3D transplants are already made, the procedure can start as soon as possible. Also you need a right transplant match, but the doctors can 3D print you the perfect match no doubt about it. This can also save lives, because if someone had a heart attack and really needed to get a heart or organ transplant to live then they could automatically get that transplant. Right now it’s organs and hearts what could we do next the possibilities are endless!

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because if people need a new organ they don't have to wait months or even years. Hospital could just print the organs out in just an hour or so. Another reason I think that printed organs are a good idea is you don’t have to use other people's organs they can have there own. The organs don’t have to be flown in from around the world. If someone needs an organ they don't need to use an animal's organ they can use a 3d printed organ with there blood cells. A Lot of people are not organ donors so if it takes to long to get one they may have to get one of the black market and the black market is illegal.

Logan Pj1 said...


I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because people won’t do illegal things to get organs. Another is the person’s body will accept it. Also doctors can just print it and it is there and no long wait time. People have a better chance to survive because they get it quickly. They could 3D print animal organs to if they need a transplant. People who are asked to be an organ donor and don’t want to they don’t have to worry if there is 3D organ printing.

I think creating 3-D printed organs is a good idea. 3-D printed organs are a good idea because… one reason that is good about it is that it can save so many lives who are really desperate for an organ. Another reason is that when someone thats truly desperate for an organ they won´t need to go onto black market to get an organ that is an illegal law. I also think creating 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. 3-D printed organs are a bad idea because.. if one of the experiments when using on an animal goes completely wrong and the animal dies or something that can prove it might not be a good idea to test it or do the same surgery on a person because the same thing might happen and the person could die from the surgery. Another bad reason is that when the people that are doing the experiment or surgery on the animal they may hurt it while in progress. This is why i think 3-D printers are a good and bad idea to make organs

I think 3-D printed organs is a bad idea. I think it is a bad idea because maybe like the things may not work. Another reason that I think it is a bad idea is that the organs will have to be printed and they may take too long to print. A second reason is that people shouldn’t have like tissue as organs because they could get rejected. a third reason it is a bad idea is that most 3D printed things can not go under a lot of pressure and stuff like that. my last reason is that so many problems could go wrong with them. I just don’t think 3d printed organs aren’t very reliable and safe.
