BIO-PRINTING
It is already possible to 'print' three-dimensional objects out of plastic and metal using a 3-D printer. Now scientists are developing printers that will be able to print human organs and body parts. If they are successful, doctors could save millions of lives. At the moment, scientists are able to print human tissue and bone, but the printing of whole organs will probably be a reality by 2025. Doctors are certain that bio-printing will revolutionise the treatment of cancer and heart disease. Moreover, if we can produce organs such as hearts and kidneys, patients won't die while they're waiting for an organ donor. The technology is very expensive and the cost might not come down for a while. But when it does, bio-printing could play an important part in all our lives.

If scientists 1__________ (can) discover how this happens, in theory it 2__________ (be) possible to re-grow human body parts too.
