"Professor Doris Taylor ... believes it could be a significant step towards creating custom-built hearts, blood vessels and other organs for people with serious illness.
The big advantage of such an approach is that organs so built would use stem cells taken from the patient so the body's immune system would not reject them."

Cool, then people won't have to wait on lists or travel to China to get an organ and live.

A new technique allows doctors to create a beating heart from the cells of a dead one. The future application of this process will use adult stem cells from the patient to prevent rejection of the organ.
