In Britain, Professor Jonathan Slack believes it's time to start thinking

There's a huge unmet need for human organs, such as hearts or livers,
for transplant operations.
Theoretically, the needs can be met by growing the organs in a lab.

be altered, like Professor Slack's tadpoles to supress all the parts of the
