I just can't get over this. Scientists grew bladders in their lab and implanted them 4 years ago and they're functioning fine. Apparently they made a biodegradable "bladder-shaped scaffold" and put the muscle and bladder cells on it, let it cook for two months, and - viola! - bladder.
They're currently growing a heart and a pancreas as well.
