3D Printer Creates Elderly Woman's New Jaw Bone
The woman is 83 years old and needed a new jaw. She could not eat or talk very much any more because her lower jaw was slowly dissolving. What interested me was the fact that we can now simply print out body parts. Can you imagine the possibilities? Oh you need a new finger? Let me print one out for ya! Personally, I’ve heard of 3D printers before but it never occurred to me to use them like this in the medical field. Here's the story:

That's crazy! To think that people can print out body parts is interesting. It's kind of scary to think about but definitely interesting.
