Probably too late for me (hold your applause….) but you young folks just may be able to live indefinitely. I suppose whether that’s a good idea is up for debate.

Most researchers put the idea of full-sized 3D-printed organ transplantation in humans at somewhere between 20 and 30 years away. “Eventually, looking ahead, we’ll not need donor hearts. We’ll not need livers,” Dvir says. “This is my opinion, and I’m optimistic, but I think that in less than 20 years we will have printed organs inside us.” That is science at work, not science fiction.
Sure, I hear about and read about them all the time. And people on the internet and on tv frequently show off objects they claim to have 3D printed. They'll even have videos of the 3D printer in operation. But I've still never seen one in person so I'm pretty sure they don't really exist and that all the excitement around them is a kind of collective mass delusion.

I've been 3D printing my soulmate for the last six months. Still only 37% complete.
