"The Body Shop" Article Review

This article is about how they have already built skin to help out burn victims and people with skin issues as in ulcerous or some kind of disorder. They talk about how maybe in the future they may create bone and other organs such as livers stomachs and maybe even hearts. Can you believe that an artificial heart we are talking Frankenstein movies here. They begin by making an exact scenario in the environment where cells can grow, this way they can process the nutrients natural growth accomplishes. They also put physical stress on the tissue which helps to create a stronger and more natural tissue, this way it maintains proteins to help grow in a petri dish. They say tissues grow in a freefall in microgravity which helps to develop cells better. They will help people who need organ transplants which is crazy to have artificial organs to help people.

This article is really startling and crazy, just imagine the possibilities of creating bones, organs, and even cardiovascular things as blood vessels. This would change the world because of all the transplants can save lives and could make a tremendous discover in science. This could be ridiculous just imagine if your artery was cut or severed and then just implanted a new artificial one, that's something I would not even imagine they would be working on it. To me it's a giant step into the unknown world, I would only imagine this in movies. To see they are attempting to create these is just a step within itself, but I really don't know if it's possible I guess we will find out, won't we.
