I fully intend on living for a long long time.  For this to happen, this is the kind of research that will need to succeed.  The ability to grow new organs to replace old ones should mean that we will be able to live a lot longer.  It will also mean that transplant waits will become a thing of the past.  The question though is not, “is this possible?”, we know it is, and just a matter of time and research to find out how to do it.  The real question is, “How will this technology intersect with society”.  I think that question bears some thinking about now.  Is it ethical to grow new organs and replace them for people who can afford it?  Is it ethical to allow people to live for hundreds of years.  I know where I stand on these kind of issues, but do you now what you think? What will happen to the global population? The environment? Jobs?

For me, immortality beckons, what about for you?
