However, I think that this technology could open the doors for a whole host of other things, including eating real meat without killing animals, or even veteranariens that could grow organs for pets as well. How it could work, is that a patient with a diseased organ goes into the hospital. They take out the diseased organ, find and take out healthy cells, and use them to grow a whole new organ. There, a temporary organ is placed in and the patient goes home. Once the permanent organ is grown, the paitent gets called in, and gets the grown organ implanted in the body. But does this mean that I will start eating french fries, burgers, shakes, and fraps in abundance? No. I will stick to organic fruits, vegtables, fish, and grilled or baked meats. Yes, although I love with animals, vegetarians arn't the best of healthy diets.

Patents will be applied for, they will run out, and by then we'll have fabbers in the garage that can take the now public-domain plans and build the machines for a reasonable cost. Now imagine that world and how much stricter it would have to be because you can just as easily fab up WMD (bio/chem at least) the exact same way.
