3D printing body parts

Ok, so did you see my other post about 3D printing actual objects: http://matclarke.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/3d-printing-actual-object-in-your-hands.html

Well now doctors have successfully printed a living human ear including cartilage.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking. Could we be printing replacement limbs? Bones? A new face if you don't like your old one?
The ideas are endless.
Maybe you could even make your own person from scratch!!!

Doctor Victor Frankenstein would be smiling right :)
