Another reminder that, yeah, this is the 21st century .

It’s bad news, says your doctor. Your liver is failing. So he extracts stem cells from your bone marrow and injects them into a sheep fetus while it is still in the womb. When the sheep is born, much of the animal’s liver will consist of your own cells - ready to be harvested and given back to you.

The described procedure is still vaporware, but steps are being taken toward it.

(So drink more and invest in sheep futures.)
