1. The idea of 3D printing body parts is something that is becoming more and more advanced. The ability to 3D print body parts can be very beneficial for many reasons, one being the economical efficiency. The cost of a 3D printed appendage is significantly cheaper than one that will be produced by a prosthetic company. With the cost of false limbs declining, it allows for the poorer side of the economy to gain access to something that they never had before. Something that also is beneficial to with the use of 3D printing of body parts is that the line for organ donors will be smaller yet again. So if you are in need of a hand and are placed on a waiting list, you may be on that list for years before being even considered. 3D printing allows for the process to go much faster and also allows for the patient to have a custom appendage that will better fit their body because it will be modeled after one that they currently already have. With the idea of 3D printing it allows for the patient to not have to go through the process of having a body casting and so on, when all that has to be done is a simple skane. The idea of 3D printing can also be utilized to even help surgeons better visualize what they are going to be facing. If undertaking a complicated heart surgery, one can just print a model of the patient's heart go through step by step to insure the best outcome of the surgery. Medicine has even utilized 3D printing today, like the talked about in this video. If there are already such a huge success of the technology behind 3D printing, then it should most definitely be continued and further advanced
