Now, this is fucking amazing

Starting with some basic human goo they used a 3d printer to print out stem cells.

Quote:
Perhaps most importantly, the stem cells survived the printing process and remained viable. Shu says this is the first time human embryonic stem cells have been 3D printed. Printing out organs may be far down the line, but it's just one potential application. The method could also be used to print out human tissue for drug testing.

My apologies if this has been posted but I did not see it.
