>even considering surrogate animal organs

Find a way to do this with a patient's own DNA, then we'll talk.

If you're on a waitlist right now, you'll probably be dead by then

I imagine if you're in dire need of a heart transplant you wouldn't care whether it's made of pig cells as long as it works.

The medical research infrastructures is broken. Even with "discoveries" like this that get plenty of news attention, we're decades away from any actual treatment being available to real life patients.

3D printing organs has a better shot if you ask me. If we could only learn how to culture a patient's cells, and quickly.

Doctor, are these organs Kosher?

> like skin, we don't have enough hearts to go around.
I thought skin was easy to make?!

Read the first link, real skin that does all the stuff skin is supposed to has never been done for humans so far

We can do grafts of donor skin or substitute skin

Why fund cures when you can keep everyone on medications for life that cost a lot more?

That said they aren't even researching new antibiotics although we desperately need them so im not entirely sure what medical research companies are wasting their time doing anyway.

Areas that medical knowledge far outstrips treatment:

Autoimmune disease
Regenerative therapies
Allergies
Transplants

That's just off the top of my head

ok boss, im going back to my lab so we can finally talk

Antibiotic development is almost totally incompatible with current markets. Antibiotics cost a lot to develop but also by necessity have to then be put on the shelf for when we really really need them. So they cost a fortune and don't sell well. Capitalist nightmare.

A lot of people have been working for a long time on developing market/investment tools and development tools but I think ultimately this is like a massive blindspot in the abilities of market capitalism

>Autoimmune disease
This is like saying that they can cure cancer, AIDS and Hashimoto's disease are very different.
>Regenerative therapies
I'm not sure about this one, but I think it's about the legal problems.
>Allergies
I don't know about you, but as a participant of a few clinical trials in the subject I've used at least one that was short of being a miracle (It wasn't permanent, but your allergies practically vanished)
>Transplants
Most organs last for a few years and then fail, they are getting better at explaining why but appart from one development last year that forced a heart to work untill it rotted they are no closer to getting the damn things to work.

>Why fund cures when you can keep everyone on medications for life that cost a lot more?

Spot on, but they actually like selling treatments. When they can sell meds that have to be taken with every meal that supress the symptoms of X they will be happy.

And I go and confuse Immunodeficiency and Autoimmune. Sorry about that.

Reminds me of when I was a baby and I was born 3 months premature and was in really bad shape, I didn't have enough skin covering my organs in the back, so my dad donated skin from his ass to cover up the weak spot. He's always got some smart fucking thing to say because of it.
>"Why are you such a smart-ass, Anon. Oh wait, I loaned you some of mine."
>"Ain't no skin off my ass."*Smirks at me.*
>"You're a chip off the old ass."
>"You owe me! My ass saved yours!"
Fuck you dad.
