Printing organs

The Economist has a really interesting article about a company named Organovo that is taking 3D printing to the next level: they are printing human organs.

Ok so they are starting with skin and flat cells, but still. With the advances in stem cells, it wont be long before they start printing retinal skins, maybe with electronic interfaces!
