Hi, I'm studying molecular bio and genetics in University of Toronto and I take a bit of social sci courses on the side. I'd just like to get your perspective on something:
What if the printed organs were designed/coded to be waaaaaay better and more efficient than normal human counterparts and laws didn't prohibit a person from getting transplants just because they want to. Lets say that a kid was transplanted with a better heart and respiratory system because his parents wanted him to become an athlete. He could exercise better and train better because he had enhanced organs then he ends up getting a gold medals in several olympic events. Personally, do you think this would be an unfair advantage? Would this give way to "designer" humans? (by designer, I mean artificially designed humans due to enhanced organ transplants)
