That way you donīt have to take imuno-supressor drugs for the rest of your life, as the organ has your "signature" on it, and the body accepts it without rejection.
If people can grow whatever organs they need, the organ black market would cease to exist. Just as those desperate poor people who sell their own body parts for money. This would all go away.
Actually, that technology isn't there yet, but it will be 'soon' as long as politicians don't stop it. Some think it's immoral.

Poor people have as much right to life as any other person, rich or poor. And personnal fortune shouldnīt have anything to do with it.
The organ cloning system would get rid of all these injustices in a second.
The prices for human organs should be fixed and controlled by a central institution, like the Ministery of Health, and distributed according to health status priorities, and order of arrival. First come, first serve.
This is what I was trying to say earlier. Thank you for writing it down in understandable English :bow:
