It's not that easy. Trust me, I'm a biologist :cool: . We're still many years away from important organs, like harts and lungs, to be 'produced' in this way. Even with proper legislation. Like starfury said, that mouse with a human ear is something entirely different. It's not like that mouse had the actual hearing 'organ' on it's back, it was just some cartilage material.
